On March 29, 2022, Prof. Helen Thompson, Professor of International Economy at University of Cambridge, Department of Politics and International Studies, addressed GRF and GRF Community members at an online meeting. In her speech, Prof. Thompson examined the biggest global trends of the last few years through the prism of her latest book, "Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century", and elaborated on the challenges that needs to be confronted by the existing political order. Noting that new political and economic relationship paradigms are emerging around the world as a result of the pandemic, the worsening climate situation and, most recently, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Prof. Thompson situated Turkey within these changes and highlighted its yet-unfulfilled potential as an energy hub. Following her speech, Prof. Thompson answered the participants’ questions.
