Mr Shahid Javed Burki from the Institute of South Asian Studies at NUS examined global developments that took place in 2017. Among them were the near-collapse of the old order put in place in the years after the end of the Second World War; the inability of globalisation to spread evenly the rewards of steady growth; and the beginning of the new era – of China being an important, if not the dominant, player in the new global order.
