There is a growing perception that with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the liberal world order created by U.S. leadership after World War Two is coming to an end. Is the current multilateral and rules-based system being weakened by the return of geopolitics? Will economic interdependence and transnational ties prevent a complete lapse into anarchy? This seminar will examine these questions from the perspective of a foreign policy expert serving in Ukraine, with years of experience working in and around multilateral institutions.
