Ep. 28: Jane Boulden on How the War in Ukraine is Disrupting the Rules-Based International Order

The ongoing war in Ukraine has shaken the foundation of international relations.  In many ways this war feels like déjà vu—a land war in Europe, a larger power attempting to overtake another smaller country for its own gains.  But in other ways this war is unprecedented.  Professor Jane Boulden joins us this episode to help make sense of the impact of the war in Ukraine on the international order, on the United Nations and on how this war has eroded the rules-based order that we thought governed international relations.
