At the end of the Cold War, many in the West believed that the liberal international order’s triumph had rendered war and revisionism obsolete. However, both Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and China’s escalation of its rivalry with the United States have poured cold water on this belief. European politicians, who for years had declined even to discuss great-power competition, have been jolted into action.
Please join Peter Rough, director of Hudson’s Center on Europe and Eurasia, for a book talk with Dr. Gerlinde Groitl. In her latest book, Russia, China and the Revisionist Assault on the Western Liberal International Order, Groitl assesses the revisionist powers’ assault on the American-led order and proposes a new strategy to contain Russian and Chinese revisionism and preserve prosperity.
