"Just where is the world going?” with Professor Paul Rogers’. Join us on-campus or virtually, on Tuesday 13 May, 6pm-7.30pm, to discuss why the world seems to be changing so rapidly and how we can create a more peaceful world.
For many people we seem to have moved into unsettling and potentially dangerous times.
There are wars in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan and elsewhere and military spending is surging back up towards the peak of the Cold War years.
At the same time, many hundreds of millions of people are marginalised and trapped in poverty and as people try to move to safer places migration has become a polarising issue.
Political uncertainties in the United States and some European countries cause yet more concern, and above it all lies the global risk of climate breakdown.
By comparison, a decade ago everything seemed more stable and predictable.
Delivered by Professor Paul Rogers, this lecture will ask why the world seems to be changing so rapidly, what are the main dangers ahead, how can they be avoided and can individuals make a difference in moving us towards a more peaceful world?
In his book, The Insecurity Trap: A Short Guide to Transformation, Professor Paul Rogers offers insight into the root causes of global insecurity and the urgent need for more transformative approaches to peace and justice.
