A powerful and important conversation, at an urgent time

Understanding and confronting the legacy of colonialism is not merely an academic exercise but a practical imperative.

Navigating world orders over five millennia: does the past offer clues to the future? with Oxford Martin School Building world order is not the monopoly of any civilisation, region or nation. Join Professor Amitav Acharya, UNESCO Chair in Transnational Challenges and Governance, as he discusses with Professor Louise Fawcett, Co-Director of the Oxford Martin Programme on Changing Global Orders, that though history does not repeat itself or is not cyclical, a five millennia look back does suggest possibilities and pathways for a pluralistic world order. #worldhistory https://lnkd.in/ekfwQTzd

Our current predicament is marked by a desire for quick fixes that make us feel and look good, but these solutions fail to address the root causes of our crises.

The Inevitability of War: Grim Shadows As we trace the contours of human history, one glaring constant emerges – the relentless recurrence of war, an unyielding companion since the dawn of civilization. How is it that, despite the eons that have passed and the advancements we've achieved, conflict remains an enduring aspect of our collective narrative? What compels societies to engage in the brutal ballet of warfare, leaving in its wake a legacy of destruction and suffering? From the ancient battlefields to the modern theaters of war, the toll exacted has been staggering, both in human lives and the profound economic and environmental costs. In this exploration, we ponder: What, if any, are the true benefits, or rather, the collateral benefits of these conflicts that echo through history?

The Enlightenment is a project of emancipation from the past. But is its emancipation a tenable project?
