Seven nations are getting together to discuss gender equality with a leader who once bragged about grabbing women’s genitals, pluralism and tolerance with politicians who have promised to turn away refugees, and economic cooperation with a country severing ties with its neighbors.

What could go wrong?

Welcome to the Group of 7 Summit in Charlevoix, Quebec, a gathering of the leaders of seven countries that once dominated the world economy, but now struggle with the forces of globalization they helped to unleash.

Expectations are low that the summit meeting on Friday and Saturday will produce much more than photo ops of Quebec scenery. It is likely to highlight a decline in the effectiveness of organizations designed to resolve international conflicts, like the World Trade Organization or the United Nations.

“Multilateralism is in crisis,” said Dennis Snower, president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy in Kiel, Germany. “We have a number of international organizations that are either stalemated or their representation is not fit for the present day.”
