Practical information
A conférence with Fadi CHEHADÉ, President and Chief Executive Officer of the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).
Pushed forward by the tremendous growth of the digital economy and the consequences of Edward Snowden's revelations, the governance of Internet is now at the first rank of the international agenda. This governance is notable by the absence of central authority and the role played by a constellation of private law instances, raising many expectations from the States, the civil society and the economic actors. Chehadé will talk about the current great challenges of this governance and the role the ICANN can play in it.
Chair: Thomas GOMART, Director of Ifri

Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
