Event Description
<p>You’re invited to join <strong>Amitav Acharya</strong>, UNESCO Chair in Transnational Challenges and Governance and Distinguished Professor at the School of International Service at American University, for an in-person discussion on his book <em>The Once and Future World Order: Why Global Civilization Will Survive the Decline of the West.</em> The discussion will be moderated by <strong>Rana Mitter</strong>, S.T. Lee Professor of U.S.-Asia Relations.</p><p> </p><p>Light catering will be provided. </p><p> </p><p><em>This event is co-sponsored by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This talk will focus on Acharya’s new book offering a 5,000-year history of world ordering, encompassing Asia, Africa, the Islamic world, the Mediterranean, the Americas, Europe and the US-led “West.” It will cover three questions: First, whether, to what extent, and how world order can be viewed as a “shared creation,” rather than a Western monopoly? Second, will the end of Western dominance be a “good thing” for world order, and if so, how? Third, what might be the shape of the “next” world order: multipolarity, bipolarity, revival of US hegemony, a world order of regions, or a “multiplex” world? Acharya also reflects on the reactions to his book worldwide and assesses recent developments, such as the further erosion of the liberal international order and the future of multilateralism in a “world-minus-one.”</p>
