Meeting N. 05 | A joint event of the Union of European Federalists (UEF) & World Federalist Movement-Institute for Global Policy (WFM-IGP)

This webinar has been organized to investigate the following issues:

The United Nations was founded on the basis of the idea of a multilateral international order proposed by President F. D. Roosevelt in Yalta (1945); now, President Donald Trump is promoting an international disorder based on bilateralism;
The clash between great powers translates into an arms race that absorbs the resources dedicated by each national government to the well-being of civil society;
The choice between guns and butter is not inevitable; the European Union and the BRICS countries can relaunch a model of cooperative, just and peaceful international order based on a New Bretton Woods, SDRs and multilateral governance (USA, EU, China, Japan, UK).
