The latest example is the World Government Summit 2022, where the leaders of global institutions, corporations, governments, finance, academia, media, and technology gathered in the United Arab Emirates capital of Dubai on March 29-30 to discuss how to implement what they called a "New World Order."

Here's CNN's Becky Anderson, the event's moderator, kicking off the summit by asking, "Are we ready for a New World Order?"

"Is the U.S.-led multilateral system created post-WW2 to manage international relations so that the world would never see and experience the same chaos and disorder of a world war, is it fit for purpose?" Anderson asked. "And if not, what is the alternative? That is the purpose of this discussion today."

The summit's mission statement on its website calls for "shaping the future of governments."

The World Government Summit Organization is a global, neutral, non-profit organization dedicated to shaping the future of governments. The Summit, in its various activities, explores the agenda of the next generation of governments, focusing on harnessing innovation and technology to solve universal challenges facing humanity.

Since its inception in 2013, the Summit has championed the mission of shaping future governments and creating a better future for humanity. The past 7 editions of the Summit have successfully established a new model to collaborate on an international playing field to inspire and enable the next generation of governments.
