Discovering the Valdai Club - Summary of the 2025 Meeting

This year topic of the Valdai Discussion Club was around the theme of “The Polycentric World: Instructions for Use,” aimed to go beyond merely describing a multipolar world and instead explore how to live in and navigate it. The Club brought together more then 140 global participants to debate how international institutions, state behavior, and power dynamics must adapt in a rapidly changing, multipolar era.Guest speaker: Dr. Misa Djurkovic, Head of MCC-MKI Center for GeopoliticsModerator: Klementina Kozma, Research Fellow of MCC-MKI Center for Geopolitics
