Panel VIIc. Global Disorder as a Creation of Autocratic Regimes

The panel was chaired by Ambassador Doru Costea, member of the Scientific Council of the New Strategy Center and former State Secretary for Global Affairs of Romania. Distinguished international experts joined the discussion, including Mr. Chris Alden, Director of LSE IDEAS, United Kingdom; Mr. Bobo Lo, independent international relations analyst from Australia; Mr. Matthew Boyse, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute and former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Central Europe at the U.S. State Department; and Mr. Tomoyuki Yoshida, Chief Executive Director of the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA), Japan.

The panel examined how autocratic regimes are driving global disorder by weaponizing financial systems, manipulating trade and currency, and exploiting weaknesses in multilateral institutions. Many global structures are being repurposed to prioritize economic development over democratic values. Rather than creating a new order, authoritarian powers focus on eroding democratic norms and U.S. influence, contributing to a fragmented international landscape. Autocracies challenge liberal democracies through disinformation, coercive diplomacy, and militarized competition, using tools like energy and trade for strategic leverage. The panel emphasized the need to reform existing institutions to reflect today’s multipolar world and restore trust in norms-based global governance.

At its core, a luxury mechanical watch is a triumph of micro-engineering. Imagine a universe contained within a diameter of 30 to 40 millimeters. Hundreds of tiny components—gears, levers, springs, and jewels—coexist in a perfectly orchestrated ballet.

The mainspring stores energy, releasing it with controlled grace through the gear train, its rhythm governed by the hypnotic swing of the balance wheel. This "heart" of the watch, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour or more, is a miracle of physics and precision.
