After Johannesburg and Ottawa, NAVIGATOR heads to Tokyo for its next regional policy workshop:
“Navigating Uncertainty in Global Governance”!
Join us at “Navigating Uncertainty in Global Governance”, organized by NAVIGATOR and the Delegation of the European Union to Japan.
When? Wednesday 29 October 2025 | 8:00 to 18:00
Where? Europa House, Tokyo
Global governance is undergoing profound transformation. Longstanding shifts — such as the rise of private actors, “club” formats like the G7, G20, and BRICS, and critiques of UN inefficiencies — intersect with newer trends of great power rivalry and rising nationalist populism. How should states, and particularly the EU and Japan, navigate this increasingly complex landscape?
This one-day regional policy workshop brings together leading scholars and practitioners from Europe and Asia to examine areas of innovation and decline in global governance, and how legitimacy and effectiveness can be balanced across diverse institutional arrangements.
