West Point, New York – On February 9-10, 2023, the United States Military Academy at West Point hosted the “Order, Counter-Order, Disorder” conference. The conference brought together experts to discuss the impact of Sino-American competition on regional and global security orders.

One of the key panel discussions at the conference was “Order & Ordering-Intellectual and Policy Frameworks: Managing International Order,” which was chaired by R.D. Hooker, PhD, from the Atlantic Council. The panel included discussants such as Prof. Daniel Nexon from Georgetown University and Ali Wyne from MIT.

Ms. Filip participated in the panel discussion, sharing her insights on the impact of international interventions on changes in global order. She emphasized that a successful change in international order must appear to be “evolutionary, not revolutionary”.

Of particular significance, the “Order, Counter-Order, Disorder” conference will result in a special report for the Chairman’s Action Group (CAG) from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Pentagon. The report will take stock of the state of the current international order, prospects for its future, and implications for strategic planning at the national and multilateral levels.

Given the conference’s focus on managing international order in the shadow of Sino-American competition, Ms. Filip’s insights on the impact of international interventions on global order are particularly important. Her contributions to the panel discussion will be included in the special report, which will inform the Chairman’s Action Group on key issues and challenges related to managing international order.

Overall, the “Order, Counter-Order, Disorder” conference was a valuable platform for experts to discuss and share their knowledge on managing international order. The resulting special report will be a crucial resource for national and multilateral strategic planning and decision-making in the face of ongoing global challenges. Ms. Filip’s participation in the conference was a testament to her expertise and the valuable contributions she brings to the field of international relations.
