Event details

With Donald Trump’s second presidency and his efforts to restore diplomatic relations with Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, a new world disorder threatens.  

What are the implications for the so-called ‘global rules-based order’? Are we returning to an earlier era of Great Powers and ‘might means right’? What roles does that leave China, India and the EU, as well as international organisations like the United Nations (UN) and the World Trade Organization (WTO)? 

What are the implications for smaller states and for relations not only between regional powers, but between the North and the Global South?

Taking an agile approach to emerging world events, our expert panel discusses these issues and more. Why not come along and join in the conversation?

This event is part of the Festival Focus ‘A World in Crisis?’ presented in collaboration with the Morrell Centre for Legal and Political Philosophy. You may also be interested in ‘Disinformation, Polarisation and the Future of Democracy' and ‘Is Europe Safe?’ which are taking place the same day.
