SOAS Explains: Is the old world order ending? Trump, Greenland, Venezuela & Europe

Is the old world order dead, or just being shoved aside by great powers carving out their own spheres of influence?

In this SOAS Explains video, Professor Nick Westcott from the Department of Politics and International Studies walks through how we built the post-WWII system specifically to avoid another catastrophic war, and why the return of great-power politics makes conflict far more likely.

Looking at Trump's moves, Venezuela, Greenland, and Europe's response, he breaks down what happens when major powers start treating international rules as suggestions, and why smaller nations across the world might actually be the ones who decide where this all goes.
