The Multipolar Mess

The international system has evolved, and we are now back in a world with nobody in charge. It’s a world with no global policeman, where revisionist powers now push and violate boundaries, and old allies cooperate only when it suits them. Crises drag on, and on, because no one in the system seems to have enough authority or credibility to resolve them.

In this episode, the discussion is about what happens when the global order loses its anchor. From hegemonic stability theory to revisionist states and weaponised supply chains, it outlines why turbulence has become the new baseline and what it means for decision-making in both politics and business in this new era.
