• My main motivation for this podcast is to discuss the dangerous time we live in, as the world must adjust to a multipolar distribution of power. After the Cold War, security was based on the notion of a liberal hegemonic peace, in which stability depended on the uncontested dominance of the Political West rather than on mitigating security competition between the great powers. During this era, we developed a powerful ideology that assumed peace could only exist under liberal hegemony and sovereign inequality. We insisted that our dominance was a “force for good” and even stopped discussing the security concerns of rivals. Unipolarity is already gone and has been replaced by a multipolar world—yet we still continue to follow the rules of a hegemon to the detriment of our own security. The wars against Russia, Iran, and future war with China will predictably end in tragedy as a workable peace is ignored, and the reluctance to recognise the security concerns of adversaries will continue to result in self-delusion.
