“Canada and the Crumbling of the Rules-Based International Order“
Canada’s national interests have been connected to supporting multilateralism and the rules-based international order since the end of World War II. However, the tendency in international politics, coupled with changes to the balance of power, and a legitimacy crisis of political authority are working in tandem to erode the foundations of the rules-based international order. How should Canada navigate these uncharted and treacherous geopolitical waters? Is world order destined for collapse, long-term decay, or a renewal? Join Dr. Mark Williams for a discussion on the past, present and future of Canada’s place in the world.
