Gaza, Ukraine and the Remaking of Global Order
The Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, in partnership with the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, the African Studies Program, and Georgetown University Qatar, is hosting Dr. Bruno Maçães for a talk titled “Gaza, Ukraine and the Remaking of Global Order” on December 2nd at Noon in the CCAS Boardroom.
Description
Is the international order in the midst of a revolutionary moment? While American power is increasingly contested, no obvious alternative has emerged. It can now be said without exaggeration that the forces of disorder have the upper hand. How does this revolutionary moment manifest itself? Dr. Bruno Maçães, New Statesman foreign correspondent, will examine the present moment from three angles: the Western loss of global power and influence, the crisis of legitimacy, and the rapidly expanding coalitions opposing Western power. The talk will focus on the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, exploring the deep connections between them. A number of future scenarios will be explored and debated.
