This lecture starts on 15 February at 7:00pm (UK).
Summary
International politics are dominated by great disrupters. Trump and Putin make a strength of shaking up the old order and the old rules. But how far can we, and they, manage and rise above the chaos? Look at the protracted crises in Ukraine, Iran, Sudan, and the Middle East: a pushback is on the way as efforts are made to establish “order in the disorder,” as they say in Naples. It is worth looking at the power counterculture of Jeffrey Epstein and the response it brings.
