The Event
The past decade has witnessed what many security strategists term the "return of great power competition" fueled by relative decline in U.S. and Western economic and military advantage, the related erosion of international norms of diplomacy and economic exchange, and the proliferation of novel destabilizing technologies. There is growing concern that global order is in danger of collapsing as in just the past two years there has been the outbreak of the first major European interstate war since 1945, a level of sustained violence in the Middle East and Levant last seen during the Yom Kippur War of 1973, and an acceleration of security competition between the United States and China in the Western Pacific and beyond.
Karl Eikenberry, drawing on his professional experiences in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, will address trends in warfare, the interrelationships between various conflicts ands sources of tension in the world, and the prospects for competition and cooperation between the major world powers.
