Peace Through Strength: Analyzing Geopolitical Tensions

This chapter explores the concept of 'peace through strength' while critiquing military action as a solution to threats, warning against a return to a lawless global order. It examines the implications of global governance and accountability amid escalating tensions, particularly focusing on Israel's military actions and their effects on humanitarian crises in Gaza. The discussion extends to the unpredictability of nationalism, the nuclear implications with Iran, and the inconsistent stances of countries like Australia on military interventions.
