🌐 The School of International Regional Studies of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs invites you to the 8th International Conference, “The World Majority in an Era of International Order Breakdown and the Search for a New Security Architecture,” to be held on 10–11 November 2026 In 2026, destabilisation of the international order, the escalation of military tension in key regions of the world, and growing indicators of a new global economic crisis have reached a level that produces a synergetic effect with unpredictable consequences. Against the backdrop of the erosion of international law (including the de facto destruction of one of its most important branches—the international law of the sea), there is a shift towards unilateral actions or narrow-group formats that violate the principles of the universality of binding norms and turn the notion of global justice into a fiction. The boom in AI-related industries provides certain states, corporations, and social groups with unprecedented advantages while creating qualitatively new security threats to other states and to the stability of the position of other social and occupational groups. Following the initial bewilderment caused by the coup carried out by the United States at the beginning of 2026 and the new and extremely dangerous military confrontation in the Middle East, the states of the World Majority, both individually and in multilateral formats, are beginning to seek responses to challenges to security and economic and social stability. For the first time, a significant number of the countries of the World Majority initiated the establishment of a global governance for artificial intelligence. New approaches in the field of maritime security are being developed. International mediation, in which Qatar and Pakistan play the leading role, has become an important factor in the dynamics of the conflict in the Middle East. A reconfiguration of regional security complexes is underway, drawing on key regional players. A process of emancipation is unfolding from the attitudes of the Western ideological mainstream in terms of competition among ideas, meanings, and narratives about past, present, and future. 🎙️ These issues, along with current questions in regional and country studies, will be discussed at the conference. A thematic panel as a part of the plenary session will be devoted to a range of issues concerning the security of international maritime shipping. 📎 Further details about the programme are available on the conference website 🔹 Working language: russian, english (simultaneous interpretation) 📍 Possible forms of participation: full-time 📆 Date: November 10-11, 2026 (9:30 AM - 6:00 PM) 📍 Address: November 10 (Pokrovsky Blvd., 11 (Building A, F)); November 11 (Malaya Ordynka, 17 (offices 106, 315) 📎 Registration for attendees is open until 5 November 2026 #фмэимп_рекомендует
