On "non-hegemony" and world disorder.

Tom Chodor, IR & politics scholar at Monash University, joins us to talk about a world that still retains the formal shells of multilateral institutions but whose contents have been hollowed out.

  • What is "multilateralism"? Why is it an important concept to capture the US-led order that is now falling apart?

  • If multilateralism was always in crisis, what is new today?

  • Is the emerging (dis)order multipolar or apolar? What's the difference?

  • Is multilateralism the historic exception that we wrongly take to be the norm? Why is there no going back to the post-1945 – or post-1991 – order?

  • What are the prospects for a new hegemonic order? Isn’t prolonged chaos and decay more likely?
