In a context of increasing international crisis and turmoil, this panel discusses the sources and future of global disorder after “liberal” hegemony.
Why are international politics today marked by a sense of gathering global disorder? Is “liberal” hegemony and its decline a source or consequence of this new era of global disorder? Exploring answers to these questions aims to clarify the dangers and opportunities for global order and disorder in the twenty-first century.
