What this episode covers
This year we mark eighty years to the end of World War II, which birthed an international order that has profoundly shaped our world. Today, many argue that we are seeing the dissolution of the post-WWII world order and a transition into something else entirely. This panel asks: How should we understand the post-WWII world order eighty years later? How and why is it now changing? And where do we think this is all going?
