Delphi Economic Forum launches ThinkPiece

Globalization is in its early stages, and it’s here to stay

 
Delphi Economic Forum launches Think Piece, a digital series of summaries of the main topics and issues raised during our annual meeting.

Our first issue provides an overview of the conversation between Robert D. Kaplan and Alexis Papahelas, one of the most outstanding conversations we enjoyed during Delphi Economic Forum IV. Robert D. Kaplan is the bestselling author of eighteen books on foreign affairs and travel, including “In Europe’s Shadow”, “The Revenge of Geography”, “The Coming Anarchy” and “Balkan Ghosts”.
Think Piece #2 will be an analysis of the conversation “The Emerging Africa” that took place in Delphi featuring “DIKTIO Network for Reforms in Greece & Europe” as a programming partner.

 
Globalization is in its early stages, and it’s here to stay

Robert Kaplan is certain about one thing: Globalization is here to stay. “Globalization will go on and on,” he notes.  “We’re in the very early, infantile phase of it.” At the same time, he adds that globalization is causing many of the domestic political and economic challenges that Western nations are increasingly faced with. Namely, Western elites and politics are confronted with the bulk of society that has been left behind. “So far,” he says, “globalization has divided societies down the middle rather than pull all these countries together as a whole into some upper-middle-class cosmopolitan world.”
