Reimagining Global Economic Governance: African and Global Perspectives
In June 2024, the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the
South African Institute of International Affairs gathered an international group of experts and practitioners in Johannesburg to discuss the global economic governance system’s capacity to address today’s most pressing concerns, particularly in Africa. They cautioned that a shift away from Western hegemony need not and must not be portrayed as anti-American or anti-Western. The United States should be encouraged to play a more “normal,” less “exceptional” role in the emerging global order to ensure that the evolution away from the unipolar moment is orderly, rather than stimulating bipolar conflict with China, encouraging U.S. isolationism, or producing global chaos. What remains to be seen, however, is how this realignment happens, and whether it creates a more equitable world order.
