WHERE:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Case Room, Liu Institute for Global Issues, 6476 NW Marine Drive, Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z2<\/span><\/p>\n

Led by visiting scholar Robert Muggah (<\/span>Igarap\u00e9 <\/span>Institute and SecDev Group) and professor Taylor Owen (UBC Journalism), this seminar series will explore the future of the global liberal order after a half century of dominance. From the emergence of new spheres of geopolitical influence to the resurgence of nationalist movements, the world is entering a period of intense volatility and turbulence. The future of the liberal order is uncertain. The structures that kept it in place are unravelling. The rapid spread of the digital commons and new technologies are changing the rules of the game, diminishing the power and influence of the state. Transnational threats such as climate change, mass migration, persistent inequality, and political violence are likewise disrupting the global order and paving the way for authoritarianism and populism.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This seminar will examine these issues and more, with visits from\u00a0some of the world\u2019s leading intellectuals on the liberal order including Edward Luce,\u00a0Francis Fukuyama, Susan Rice, Steven Pinker, Anne-Marie Slaughter, and others<\/span><\/em>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
