About the event:
What does the Russian invasion of Ukraine tell us about the collapse of the liberal world order?
Prof.Vittorio Emanuele Parsi, Director of the High School of International Studies at the Cattolica University in Milan, will propose his interpretation of the current events in the light of his most recent book,
The Wrecking of the Liberal World Order.
Emerged as a project aiming to harmonize state sovereignty and the market, through the promotion of liberal democracy domestically, and free trade and economic cooperation internationally, the LWO (Liberal World Order) was hijacked in the 1980s: market forces overshadowed democratic forces, thus disfiguring the LWO into a Neoliberal Global Order. The book advocates for a revival of its original intellectual premises, that in the aftermath of World War II marked the zenith of political modernity.
