🇷🇺🇰🇿 MGIMO University and Astana Diplomatic Club Discussed Global Trends in International Relations

On May 25, MGIMO jointly with the Astana Diplomatic Club held an online master class titled “The Architecture and Architects of the Modern World Order: MGIMO and Astana on Global Trends in International Relations.”

More than 80 school and university students from Kazakhstan and other countries took part in the event, gaining insight into key trends in international relations through MGIMO’s academic expertise and educational approaches.

The first part of the master class focused on the “architects” of the new world order — leaders shaping the international agenda — as well as on MGIMO’s role as an institution training specialists capable of managing global processes. Participants learned about study opportunities, career paths, and future prospects for aspiring international affairs professionals.

In the second part of the event, Alexander Chekov, lecturer at the Department of International Relations and Russian Foreign Policy and Academic Supervisor of the MGIMO Space Diplomacy Club, delivered a lecture on the “architecture” of the modern world order. The lecture covered the evolution of the international system, the key challenges of today, and possible scenarios for the further development of global processes.

Particular interest was generated by the discussion on t

he future of international organizations, integration associations,

and

the role of public diplomacy

in overcoming the current crisis in international relations.

We sincerely believe that such events make MGIMO’s expertise more accessible to a broad international audience, create a platform for open knowledge exchange, help young people better understand contemporary global processes, and contribute to the formation of a professional community of future specialists in international relations.

We express our special gratitude to Alexander Chekov for his profound and insightful lecture, as well as to all the participants for their genuine interest and engaging questions. We would also like to thank Kaiyrbolat Sakhmetov, Head of the Astana Diplomatic Club — we are confident that this is only the beginning of a long and productive partnership.
