Description of the event. What does an economic crisis teach us about geopolitics?  Or is it the other way around? Are we truly entering a “new” world? And if the answer is yes, what role shall diplomacy play? The discussion also covered the role that the US plays in a changing world, the evolution of EU’s soft power, and the shifting of social problems into geopolitical problems in emerging countries, such as Russia and Turkey.
