Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) invites you to hear Mr Steve Killelea present the Institute for Economics & Peace’s (IEP) latest paper, The Great Fragmentation – The Rise of Middle Powers in a Fractured International Order. Produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP), The Great Fragmentation report provides a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of the structural transformation of the international system since the end of the Cold War, highlighting a fundamental broadening of global power characterised by the plateauing of superpower influence and the significant rise of middle power nations. This trend is only likely to continue in the coming decade. The report examines this shift amid a period of declining global peacefulness and rising geopolitical risk, while multilateral institutions have weakened and trade restrictions and conflict pressures have increased. Within this context, the report explores how the growing influence of middle powers is reshaping trade, diplomacy, and global networks, creating both challenges and opportunities for stability and cooperation in an increasingly multipolar world. Speakers Steve Killelea AM, Chair of the Institute of Economics and Peace - IEP

Produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace, the Global Terrorism Index 2026 offers a comprehensive summary of the key global trends and patters in terrorism over the last decade. Now in its 13th edition, the report examines the evolving landscape of terrorism, the socio-economic and geopolitical factors shaping its trajectory, the strategies employed by terrorist groups, radicalisation, and the impact of emerging technologies. Speakers: Steve Killelea - Founder & Executive Chairman, IEP César Álvarez - Co-founder & Chair, The Australia-Colombia Dialogue (Moderator) Lea Perekrests, Director of Partnerships, IEP The session will be followed by an interactive Q&A with Steve Killelea and Thomas Morgan - Chief Research Officer, IEP, providing an opportunity to engage with experts on the key trends shaping terrorism and global security. The Global Terrorism Index remains an essential resource for policymakers, security professionals, and researchers seeking data-driven insights to inform effective strategies and navigate the increasingly complex global security landscape.

Geopolitical rivalry among the United States, China, and Russia is fragmenting the international system and placing new pressures on states caught in between. For middle powers, today’s environment presents both risk and opportunity: how they choose to align, hedge, or engage can either deepen polarization or help stabilise contested regions and institutions. This debate explores why middle powers matter more than ever—and how their choices are shaping global politics. The discussion will examine how middle powers turn strategic autonomy into real-world influence. Participants will explore practical diplomatic tools such as bridge-building between rival blocs, coalition-building across regions, mediation in conflicts, and strengthening economic connectivity. Drawing on concrete examples, the event will unpack how middle powers convene actors, create trusted spaces for dialogue, and play a pivotal role in sustaining cooperation and multilateralism in an increasingly divided world.
