The world is not doing well. Major powers are competing to expand their room for maneuver. Regional stability is increasingly being tested. International cooperation is moving toward smaller frameworks. International organizations that once served as key references are no longer as strong as they used to be. All of these shifts are summarized in Outlook 2026. And they will be discussed further at the International Conference on International Relations (ICON-IR) 2026: “The Weak [NOT] Suffer What They Must, The Strong Do What They Can”. Organized by HI UNPAR in collaboration with APISA, 20–21 August 2026.
