From a Dysfunctional World Order to a Sustainable Future: An Interview with Richard Falk

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Jan 17, 2020 | Global Policy, C. J. Polychroniou

In this interview for the Global Policy journal, Richard Falk sets out the state of global affairs near the end of the second decade of the 21st century by moving from the abstract to the concrete. He regards as axiomatic that the postwar international liberal order is fracturing while facing a geopolitical transition where the most prominent characteristic seems to be the decline of the United States as a global superpower. With that in mind, he offers a panoramic perspective on the contemporary state of global affairs, looks at the primary changes under way, and the emerging challenges and threats to global peace and stability.
