In the last few years there have been many developments that have had a great influence on the international community. The rise of China and India, American unilateralism, terrorist attacks, the Dutch and French rejection of the European Constitutional Treaty, a newly assertive Russia, the invasion of Iraq; the list is long. Based on the assumption that the world of tomorrow can be found in the actions of today, De Balie is looking for the future of the international community.
