New World New Rules: Global Cooperation in a World of Geopolitical Rivalries. George Papaconstantinou and Jean Pisani-Ferry. Agenda Publishing. 2025. ISBN: 9781788217736.

New World New Rules examines international political economy and how to sustain global cooperation when great-power rivalry and fragmentation are undermining the post-1945 multilateral order. They frame the key challenge as finding new rules that allow cooperation to proceed in a world no longer organized around a single, coherent rules-based order. They examine governance practices across several major domains — climate, health, trade and competition, banking and finance, taxation, migration, and the digital economy.

He currently chairs International Political Economy at the European University Institute's School of Transnational Governance in Florence.

Jean Pisani-Ferry is a French economist and public policy expert. He founded and directed Bruegel think tank in Brussels (2005–2013), shaping Europe's response to the financial and euro crises.
