- Education
As dangers loom large for the world today, a possible Second Cold War has become a frequent topic among politicians and scholars across the globe. Is the Second Cold War inevitable? Is win-win cooperation merely a pretty-sounding strategy or a deep-rooted and realistic philosophy? Is transcending Bloc politics possible in the post-western era?
With these questions on mind, China Forum had an in-depth discussion with Prof. Richard Sakwa on the sidelines of the 6th Forum on Security and Strategy in Beijing late March. Prof. Sakwa is the author of the newly published book “The Lost Peace: How the West Failed to Prevent a Second Cold War”, and also a professor of Russian and European Politics at the University of Kent at Canterbury, U.K.
In the discussion, Prof. Sakwa offers us penetrating insights into a period of history that we thought we have thought over, revealing deeper logic that has the power to change the course of history today.
