#21 Andrew Hurrell: Brave Old World

Everyone is familiar with globalization, its problems and
discontents. But how to correspond to it politically? Andrew
Hurrell is Professor of International Relations at the University
of Oxford and has spent much time studying liberal ideas about
globalization: how it has evolved in modern times as well as its
current challenges like populism, pandemics, climate change, and
war. As an Einstein Visiting Fellow at the Cluster of Excellence
"Contestations of the Liberal Script (SCRIPTS)", Andrew Hurrell
seeks to understand why adopting truly internationalist policies
is so difficult today; why the old world order of power politics
has returned, and how geopolitics might be tamed in favour of new
models of multilateral cooperation. Please note: The interview
was recorded in 2021, months before the Russian invasion of
Ukraine.
