Three forces are now colliding to remake the world economy at its foundations: a globalization redrawn around the “Global Majority,” technologies that turn platforms into planners, and a demographic squeeze that breaks the post-war growth model. Maxim Oreshkin maps a new paradigm in which connector countries become strategic actors, algorithms quietly displace markets, and “fiscal cannibalism” forces aging societies to choose between the elderly and the future. The lasting question, he argues, is whether human beings remain independent decision-makers, or become managed participants in systems they no
longer see.

In an era of trade wars and snapping supply chains, the UAE’s foreign trade minister argues that influence is no longer about size or dominance. It’s about the capacity to connect. With 35 Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements, $110 billion invested in Africa since 2019, and non-oil trade that just crossed $1 trillion, H.E. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi makes the case that the country wedged between Asia, Africa, and Europe has built a model the fractured global economy badly needs: partnership over positioning, connectivity over control.

U saradnji sa FEFA fakultetom organizovali smo predavanje profesora Zhang Weija, direktora Instituta za Kinu pri Univerzitetu Fudan u Šangaju.

Razgovor na temu „Kineski model razvoja i budućnost globalnog poretka” okupio je veliki broj studenata, ekonomskih stručnjaka i predstavnika akademske zajednice.

Posebnu pažnju izazvala je teza profesora Zhanga o Kini kao „civilizacijskoj državi”, koja je otvorila široku i dinamičnu raspravu o razvojnim modelima, međunarodnim odnosima i mestu Kine u savremenom svetu.

In cooperation with FEFA Faculty, we organized a lecture by Professor Zhang Weiwei, Director of the China Institute at Fudan University in Shanghai.

The discussion, titled “China’s Development Model and the Future of the Global Order,” brought together a large number of students, economic experts, and members of the academic community.

Professor Zhang’s thesis on China as a “civilizational state” drew particular attention, opening a broad and dynamic discussion on development models, international relations, and China’s place in the contemporary world.
