Sovereignty and Contestation: Has the Globe Finally Fractured? | BGD 2026 Day 2

Keynote address: 🔹Péter Szijjártó (Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Hungary) Panel Discussion: Sovereignty and Contestation: Has the Globe Finally Fractured? A decade of geopolitical flux has reconfigured the old order, but the contours of a new are yet to emerge. Great-power competition – particularly between the United States and China – now affects not just security, but also economic relations, technological choices and energy access. Smaller nations seek to reclaim their sovereignty and autonomy, supra-national institutions are in retreat, and emerging powers are claiming their seat at the table. This panel will examine how multilateralism is being reconfigured, how security is being redefined, and whether an institutional basis for peace and co-operation can be found. Can the old multilateral order be reformed and restored, or must it be replaced? What groupings, alliances, and relationship could potentially act on global problems with both consensus and credibility? Has the US retreated from its role as underwriter of the global system, or is it merely reconfiguring its relationships? Can other powers – Europe, India, and Japan – possess the will and capability to pick up some of the slack? How can smaller nations recover room to both fulfil their growth aspirations and expand their sovereign autonomy? Will the “spheres of influence” doctrine return in a more multipolar world?
