The new world (dis)order - Lecture by President of Finland, Alexander Stubb 

Although Stubb's assessment is good, the major limitation of his lecture is his optimism regarding multilateralism. In his analysis of the current global political landscape, he makes a compelling case for the need to restore a multilateral world order. He correctly identifies the transition from a unipolar system led by the United States to a multipolar one, where competing powers are increasingly shaping international dynamics. Stubb’s historical analogies and reflections on globalisation provide a useful framework for understanding this shift. However, his unwavering faith in the possibility of revitalising multilateral institutions emerges as the most significant limitation of his assessment. Stubb’s optimism about the future of multilateralism overlooks the structural challenges that hinder its resurgence. Major powers like the United States, China, and Russia have little incentive to engage in meaningful institutional reforms that would dilute their influence. Specifically, states like China and Russia prefer bilateral or regional frameworks that allow them to bypass multilateral rules, as these offer more direct benefits. This fragmentation of global governance makes it difficult to return to a robust, rule-based international order. Stubb’s calls for a more inclusive United Nations Security Council and a reformed World Trade Organisation, while desirable, fail to account for the entrenched resistance to such changes. These institutions, mired in structural inertia, face significant barriers to becoming more equitable and functional. Furthermore, Stubb's analysis underestimates the extent to which domestic political forces, particularly the rise of populism in Western democracies, hinder multilateral cooperation. Populist movements often prioritise national sovereignty over international commitments, and leaders facing these pressures are reluctant to engage deeply with multilateral frameworks. This trend has weakened the ability of international institutions to manage global challenges, from security threats to climate change. While Stubb’s lecture offers a thoughtful analysis of the geopolitical shifts that define today’s world, his belief in the revival of multilateralism is an optimistic limitation. The reality of competing national interests, structural resistance to reform, and rising populism suggests that a return to a robust multilateral order is far more challenging than Stubb anticipates. His idealism, while commendable, may overlook the complexities of the current global order.

Bravo dette burde tas in i Pensum i Skolevesenet i hele verden.

Alex "Three Points" Stubb 😊👍

A strong personality ; an informative , useful speech.

Kysymys Stubbille: Miksi kaikkien tavaroiden ja tuotteiden valmistus sitten siirrettiin esimerkiksi Kiinaan jos ei haluttu vahvistaa Kiinaa ??

Jeg håper inderlig at det er den internasjonale interessen for foredraget som gjør at det foregår på engelsk. President Stubb er svensktalende.

Erittäin hyvä ja selkeä puhe Stubilta jälleen kerran.

A capitalist quoting Lenin, now that''s my president. Edit to be clear; this is what a leader should be

Wow, a finnish genius. Where have you been all this time?

Rules I push in EU! Great ideas are to be supported to change the concept of Living in harmony with noharm rules from EMA. European Commission Worked alone in a Office with No power in Sweden.

AlexStubb - my respect!!!

Who financied the russian revelution?

I would not call it democracy what USA is today, more like a state where the corporations rule. Like the money the leaders get has a bigger weight on the leaders actions than the votes of the people so is it really the voice of the people or more the voice of the greedy? A democracy would make the needs of the many more important than the needs of one, currently in USA they sacrifice the many for the few. They are allowed to use money to twist the reality of people and not obligated to tell the whole story or even the truth. So the western world is currently heading towards something similar to a plutocracy. Our dear arrogant president still has problems with understanding that he represents us all, like he is not uneducated in any way just a bit lost still but it took Sauli like 3 years to find his place also(seems the ones coming from Kokoomus"wannabe USA party, down with the welfare state" has this issue). So he sees nothing wrong in the American system even if its destroying ours because he himself wants it but he should represent us all and I think the 60% earning less than 30k would rather keep the welfare state at the cost of our wealthy not being able to amass insane wealth as in USA. What I know that if we start to have homeless people and people having to sell their homes because they couldn't afford a insurance, then I will not defend this country. Loyalty is also based on the country taking care of its weak, not only feeding the greed of the greedy(its a black hole, they will never have enough). He is arrogant, he at least was a bully, he comes from wealth... so lets see if he will turn into a normal human one day, at least his education should be enough to see things with open eyes...

The World should follow the Nordic model or at least what it was back in the year 2000 because that would benefit the majority of the people in the world, even Americans would love free basic things and a subsidies minimal living standard. Capitalism has its good sides but look how much we have done about climate change even if we could observe the changes back when we reduced the particles in the air(new filters on "chimneys" around the world), plus that humanity has known about this for more than 100 years but Capitalism forces profit until its too late. Just as an example electronics had up to 15 years guarantees and we used "wood" for one time use things like mugs, plates and cutlery(like we didn't use plastic that much). We had metal and wooden toys that still after 40 years are used instead of the "made in China" plastic stuff... You could fix machines and they had metal, not plastic parts that are ment to brake after X years so that you have to buy a new one. Like everything went up side down just so that some got more wealth than every generation after them will ever need, insanity. Like we even put "plastic" in ourselves to "lie" about who we are, no honesty left and everything is a bubble of lies. I myself believe that we will first hit something similar to plutocracy and then anarchy(we can already see the seeds of anarchy in USA).

As business opportunities in China wither... NEW HORIZONS await... A period of adventure... and yes... disorder...

You can see it on his face that he has stopped getting it.

Cut from the same cloth as Trudeau, Macron, Starmer and rest of the WEF bootlickers
