Michael Mandelbaum in Conversation with Ralph Buultjens: The Rise and Fall of Peace on Earth

In the twenty-five years after 1989 the world enjoyed the deepest peace in its history.

It ended because three major countries, Russia, China, and Iran, put an end to it with aggressive nationalist policies aimed at overturning the prevailing political arrangements in their respective regions. Based on his new book The Rise and Fall of Peace on Earth, the eminent foreign policy scholar Michael Mandelbaum explains how and why this happened, and what can be done to restore peace.
