Making sense of this (…) world and the resurgent Chinese empire

Seminar by Brunello Rosa

The LQG is very grateful to Snowflake our hosts of this seminar.

Brunello Rosa will explore the intersection of geopolitics, energy, and digital assets—an area that has become especially significant in light of the recent conflict in the Middle East. He will discuss how the current geopolitical confrontations are occurring as part of the wider Cold War 2 between US and China, which is leaving 4 areas of the world vulnerable to conflicts and how the so-called “Donroe” doctrine fits in this landscape. Brunello will also explore how energy markets and digital assets are inextricably linked and how the race to establish the new global reserve currency is wide open.
