Lord Peter Ricketts &
Luke Harding
A New World Order: Can We Keep The Post-War Peace?
The international order built after 1945 was designed to prevent catastrophe: alliances over conflict, diplomacy over force, democracy over authoritarianism. Today, that settlement is at breaking point. War has returned to Europe, global power is shifting and democratic confidence is under strain on both sides of the Atlantic. Join Lord Peter Ricketts, former diplomat, National Security Adviser and Chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee, and Guardian foreign correspondent Luke Harding, whose reporting has exposed the realities of Putin’s Russia and the shadow war between democracies and authoritarian states. Chaired by HistoryExtra’s Dave Musgrove, this timely discussion asks whether the institutions that shaped the modern world can still endure – or whether a different era has already begun.
