About this item
| Description: |
The upcoming US presidential election will take place in the context of a raging pandemic and unprecedented domestic polarization in which allegations of voter fraud, voter suppression, and foreign interference are rife. If the results are contested and the US falls into a sustained political paralysis, what are the likely ramifications for world order? What would a major crisis of American democracy mean for liberal democracy, the rules-based international order, and resurgent authoritarianism?
Following its traditional 'nightmare' model, the Centre for Geopolitics will draw on expertise from history, politics, journalism, and diplomacy to explore the possible geopolitical consequences of a contested US election. |
