The Deterioration of the Rules-Based World Order

In this chapter, the host is joined by a guest, Anne Applebaum, who discusses the deterioration of the rules-based world order. They talk about how states and non-state actors like Hamas are defying international rules and norms by committing acts of terror and publicizing them. They also discuss the decline of the rules-based order, the minimizing of terrorist tactics, and the impact of China's attempts to undermine UN laws. The chapter ends with the host thanking the guest and teasing upcoming discussions on President Biden's address and future steps.
