Revitalising Multilateralism by Enabling a Global Paradigm Shift on Growth and Security

This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org

Abstract

Current multilateralism is confronted with a new era characterised by successive and interlinked disruptions. Two primary challenges lie at its core: the phenomenon often referred to as the Anthropocene or environmental crisis, and the emergence and impact of artificial intelligence and technological disruption. These developments bring forth challenges to the fundamental concepts underpinning contemporary multilateralism, namely growth and security. The emerging paradigm urges G20 nations to pledge their efforts towards the strategic development of an adaptive and future-proof framework of growth and security that would better support the future course of multilateral cooperation. This policy brief makes an appeal for the simultaneous adaptations of security and growth, as reconceptualising one cannot be accomplished without transforming the other. To achieve this goal, this brief proposes four key recommendations: fostering and enhancing inter-institutional dialogue, creating an integrated task force to align goals and strategies, formulating the link between national and international security strategy, and formulating the link between environmental policy and economic policy.
