On "non-hegemony" and world disorder. Tom Chodor, IR & politics scholar at Monash University, joins us to talk about a world that still retains the formal shells of multilateral institutions but whose contents have been hollowed out.
What is "multilateralism"? Why is it an important concept to capture the US-led order that is now falling apart?
If multilateralism was always in crisis, what is new today?
Is the emerging (dis)order multipolar or apolar? What's the difference?
Is multilateralism the historic exception that we wrongly take to be the norm? Why is there no going back to the post-1945 – or post-1991 – order?
What are the prospects for a new hegemonic order? Isn’t prolonged chaos and decay more likely?

A docu-series from Bungacast. This sequence of interviews, conversations and meetings were recorded mostly in New York – the capital of the 20th century – in order to ask what the future of place is in the 21st century. In part four, we finish off by digging into New York itself to look at the great contradictions of modernism. We conclude by asking what the capital of the 21st century is, and who, if anyone, is planning it. This fourth episode features:
