SUMMARY:Seminar: "The new geopolitics of Eastern Africa: Emerging regional 
 responses"
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the BIEA’s “Eastern Africa in the Wor
 ld” seminar series. It invites scholars to think about Eastern Africa\, 
 broadly defined\, as a distinctive yet plurally constituted area-in-the-wo
 rld.\\r\\nThere is widespread recognition that global order is shifting to
 wards multipolar dynamics\, with major impact on politics\, economics and 
 conflicts in eastern Africa. But how are eastern African leaders and socie
 ties responding to and shaping this change? The region’s multilateral bo
 dies\, states\, and civil societies face new dilemmas\, challenges\, and o
 pportunities as they seek to assert their various interests and values on 
 the world stage\, manage regional dynamics\, and shape domestic politics. 
 How they respond will be pivotal in shaping the trajectories for peace and
  security\, economic development\, and inclusive politics\, as well as inf
 luencing the wider reconfiguration of global order. Reacting to this junct
 ure\, this public event brings together various leaders and thinkers from 
 eastern Africa to reflect on the present geopolitical changes\, the initia
 l responses\, and the choices ahead.
