Programme Overview
The Global (Dis)Order programme examines the complexities of today’s fragmented international system.

Meanwhile, humanity faces existential challenges such as climate change, disruptive technologies, and pandemics.
To address these issues, the British Academy and Carnegie Endowment seek evidence-based discussion papers that:
Identify key issues shaping global order and disorder
Offer historical and contemporary insights into geopolitical shifts
Engage policymakers by presenting actionable policy recommendations
The first phase of the programme will focus on four major workstreams:
Dynamics of International Order – Analyzing historical and contemporary trends shaping global stability and instability.
Fragmenting Global Economy – Exploring shifts in trade, finance, technology, and policy responses to economic fragmentation.
Transnational and Planetary Challenges – Addressing issues like climate change, digital governance, global health, and space security.
Violence and (In)Security – Investigating new and evolving security threats, from military conflicts to misinformation campaigns.
