I participated in an academic conference on the 'Future of the Liberal International Order' in Copenhagen, Denmark, and presented my paper on 'The Beijing-Moscow Alliance: An Interim Axis of Convenience Destined to Fail or An Unprecedented Mode of Shaping the Global System?' which will be published by the end of 2019. Furthermore, I attended a public discussion on the global order with Barry Buzan, Ayse Zarakol, Steven Lobell, Ole Weaver, Anders Wivel, Balkan Devlen, and T. V. Paul.
