100 years after the First World War, we are witnessing major changes in the global political order. Rising powers challenge Western hegemony while international institutions are undermined. In Western countries, the rise of nationalist-populist forces goes hand in hand with fear of outside threats, such as terrorism. Are we facing a new era of instability and war? This panel from the Conflict & Change group of UCL’s Department of Political Science will discuss the likelihood ...and patterns of political violence – and how we can confront it – in a new global order.
Chair: Prof. Kristin Bakke / Kit Rickard
The changing global order: Dr. Zeynep Bulutgil
International and civil war: Dr. Rod Abouharb
Ethnic cleansing/genocide: Dr. Kate Cronin-Furman
Terrorism: Dr. Manuel Vogt
United Nations and other interventions: Dr. Nils Metternich
