We are often told nowadays that the ‘rules based world order’ is under threat, or even that it  is no more. But what does this mean? What is world order? Who made the rules and what is changing? Those are some of the questions being asked by members of this group which aims to understand better the concepts, the history and the future of world order. In doing so we consider, inter alia, the shift of economic and political power from the West to the East, the standing of world institutions, the effect of demographic changes, the impact of climate change and AI, etc.

Meetings usually begin with an introduction to a previously agreed topic by a member of the group, taken in turn.
