On "non-hegemony" and world disorder.
Tom Chodor, IR & politics scholar at Monash University, joins us to talk about a world that still retains the formal shells of multilateral institutions but whose contents have been hollowed out.
-
What is "multilateralism"? Why is it an important concept to capture the US-led order that is now falling apart?
-
If multilateralism was always in crisis, what is new today?
-
Is the emerging (dis)order multipolar or apolar? What's the difference?
-
Is multilateralism the historic exception that we wrongly take to be the norm? Why is there no going back to the post-1945 – or post-1991 – order?
-
What are the prospects for a new hegemonic order? Isn’t prolonged chaos and decay more likely?
