Political Risk Conference - The Great Transition: An Attempted Shift Towards Autonomy
Recent years have been characterized by increasing geopolitical volatility, growing tensions between the USA and China, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and growing assertiveness of middle powers that have implied a transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world.

Explore Our Map Collection
An eminent map collector and friend-of-Fletcher has recently donated a collection of maps to Ginn. These turn-of-the century maps chart territory around the globe and are now available to students for research…and to cartophiles for general perusal! If you’re interested in exploring the collection, just make an appointment with a librarian and we will retrieve the maps that spark your curiosity.
