Munk Dialogue with Sarah Paine
The rise of the Russia-China axis
Most geopolitical experts would agree that we have entered into a new cold war. The rise of the China-Russia axis and its threat to the international rules-based order is of growing concern to western powers. On this Munk Dialogue, we’re speaking with Sarah Paine, University Professor of History and Grand Strategy at the US Naval War College.
Sarah explains what is motivating leaders like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin to act aggressively towards their neighbours – and how western powers should respond to these acts of aggression. In short: what can we learn about the wars of the 20th century to prevent a devastating global war in the 21st?
