What does the declining dominance of the West mean for international order?

It was a pleasure to host a dialogue with Amitav Acharya, Distinguished Professor and UNESCO Chair at American University and author of The Once and Future World Order (Foreign Policy’s “Most Anticipated Books of 2025”), in conversation with Alejandro Reyes, ASHK Scholar-in-Residence and HKU adjunct professor. They dissected the West’s perceived decline, the rise of non-Western powers, and pathways to a more equitable global order. Can a multipolar world foster fairness? Join ASHK to explore Acharya’s bold vision for a post-Western era and its implications for international governance.
