Transforming Global Governance: Stephen Heintz on "BILATERAL!"

The United Nations.
Bilateral is a series of virtual fireside chats about transforming global governance, hosted by the Coalition for the U.N. We Need. In this second edition, C4UN Senior Advisor Heba Aly sits down with Stephen Heintz, president and CEO of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and author of the report A Logic for the Future: International Relations in the Age of Turbulence.
In this report, published in late 2024, Heintz lays out a vision for a new international logic—one that shifts from national sovereignty to collaborative and human sovereignty; from primacy of the national interest to a focus on the global commons; from zero-sum thinking, blocs, and alignment to positive-sum solutions and variable alignment; and from great power dominance to equitable distribution of power.
