Description

Join us for the next instalment of our Political Mind series, featuring Lord John Alderdice.

This talk explores the growing breakdown of the rules-based international order and the increasing risks of war, authoritarianism, nuclear catastrophe, and environmental collapse. Drawing on themes from a new multi-author volume on ending wars, Alderdice examines why conflict arises, how violence escalates, and why today may be one of the most dangerous periods in human history.

Amid weakening global restraints and deepening crisis, the discussion asks: what is to be done?
