Waste Land: A World in Permanent Crisis

The global outlook in 2025 is bleak. Ploughshares are being turned into swords as development spending is cut and defence budgets increase. Are we now living in a world of crisis, competition and conflict? A context in which collective international action on global challenges is further away than ever? What lessons are there from the past about the world we have tilted into - and can we escape our present generational bleakness? Join Robert Kaplan, one of the leading international authors on global affairs, for a wide-ranging and timely discussion. This event will be chaired by Alexander Evans, Associate Dean of the LSE School of Public Policy. More about our speaker and chair Robert D.
