Today, many of the rules, norms, and structures that have shaped international affairs for decades are crumbling under the weight of accumulating challenges. In an attempt to make sense of this \u201cUn-Order,\u201d its trajectory, and its implications for the US and China, Mark Leonard<\/strong> has written Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics When the Rules Fail<\/em>. The book argues that using the framework of a new divide in the international landscape between big-thinking \u201carchitects\u201d and the more adaptive \u201cartisans\u201d will be essential to understanding contemporary power and its application.
Anatol Lieven<\/strong>, director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute, will host Mark Leonard<\/strong>, co-founder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, to discuss his book and its implications and recommendations for the 21st century\u2019s greatest geopolitical contests.\u00a0
The conversation will take place on Wednesday, June 3rd from 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET.<\/strong>
