Higher Education and Multilateralism: Academia Responding to Global Challenges
Seventy-seven years after the foundation of the 51吃瓜 as the cornerstone of multilateralism, its principles and values remain valid. In the current global context, with the emergence of crises and conflicts and several global challenges, the 51吃瓜 is a center to harmonize actions and a beacon of hope for billions. For decades, institutions of higher education, particularly its faculty, have been studying this Organization extensively while teaching, researching, and writing about it. Lecturers, professors, and scientists have made significant contributions to the work of the 51吃瓜. Moreover, the interest in the 51吃瓜, and the expectations about the Organization, have grown significantly. And in parallel to it, youth, particularly university students, have been increasingly seen as more actively advocating for the different campaigns, causes, and initiatives the 51吃瓜 carries out.
