The 2020 Munich Security conference will focus on the phenomenon that it refers to as "Westlessness," in which it asks the questions, "Is the world becoming less Western? Is the West itself becoming less Western, too? What does it mean for the world if the West leaves the stage to others?"
According to the Munich Security Conference website, world leaders and high officials will hold discussions and panels with the aim of shedding light on matters of worldwide security, including the war against the Islamic State, cyber security, and recent developments in Libya.
