Between Pontiffs and Engineers of the Abyss

Paulo Nassar

 In the contemporary geopolitical landscape, where interdependence should unite us, we once again witness the rise of invisible—but profoundly real—walls.

Economic tariffs multiply like trenches raised against the spirit of cooperation. Instead of opening markets, we open wounds. Instead of promoting fair trade, we fuel fear of the other.

The logic of wild protectionism hides the resurgence of an old figure: the bridge destroyer. He wears the suit of a head of state but acts as an architect of the abyss. He dismantles agreements, sabotages multilateral organizations, and imposes tariffs not as instruments of balance, but as weapons of intimidation.

Prof Justin Green, President & CEO, Global Alliance - Annual Report 2024

As we enter our 25th year (marked as the ‘silver jubilee’ in some cultures), it is my great honour to present the 2024 annual report of your Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management. With your steadfast support and active involvement, 2024 was another year of growth for our Alliance in terms of our membership, our service offering, and the reach and impact achieved through our global advocacy.

As I reflect on another year of accomplishment with your support, I am also reminded that it is now almost six years since I had the tremendous privilege of being elected Global Alliance President in 2019. You will recall that a global pandemic came into all of our lives soon after that. This meant my early months and years as President coincided with a major public health emergency that challenged all of us to think differently about how we lived and worked.

Global Alliance evolved our member offering to better reflect the new realities of global business and that journey continues.
