Episode notes
Power Defines Global Order
- Global orders are defined by the power of dominant states and their use of that power to enforce rules.
- The US-led order is declining as it fails to uphold justice and monopolize power as before.
Gaza Breaks US Narrative Control
- Gaza has weakened the US ability to control international institutions and shape global narratives.
- Social media decentralizes information, undermining traditional power structures and narratives.
US Hegemony Is Recent & Fading
- The US global hegemony is relatively recent, only lasting about 30 years, and is now in decline.
- Historical failures such as in Iraq and Afghanistan show limits to American power projection and influence.
