Bertrand Badie, an emeritus professor at Sciences Po Paris and a well-known specialist in international relations, will participate in a discussion on Sunday, September 27, as the international guest of RFI. The conversation will focus on the outcomes of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, examining whether this session signals the decline of multilateralism or if there are still reasons to believe in its continued relevance. Multilateralism refers to international cooperation among multiple countries to address global issues. The United Nations General Assembly is a key forum where member states discuss a wide range of global issues, from peace and security to climate change and human rights. This session, like previous ones, has drawn attention for its debates and decisions, reflecting the complex dynamics of international diplomacy. Badie's analysis will provide insights into the effectiveness of global governance in the current geopolitical climate. In his latest book, Beyond Power and War. The Mysterious Social Energy, Badie explores alternative perspectives on international relations, moving beyond traditional notions of power and conflict. The book, published by Odile Jacob, delves into the concept of social energy as a potential driver of international cooperation and peace. This work adds to Badie's long-standing contributions to the field of international relations. Badie's participation in the RFI discussion highlights the ongoing importance of academic perspectives in understanding global events. As the international community continues to grapple with challenges that require collective action, the role of experts like Badie in interpreting these developments remains crucial. His insights will be valuable for those interested in the future of international cooperation and the role of institutions like the United Nations.
