As the world undergoes transformative shifts, the international liberal order—once the cornerstone of global governance—is facing unprecedented challenges. Mistrust in multilateral institutions, reconfigured global supply chains, and the advent of a new digital age are reshaping the rules of engagement. In this week’s episode of Beyond the Headlines, we explore the pressing questions of whether the liberal order can endure, what alternatives might emerge, and the potential shape of a new world order. This conversation delves into the crossroads of international relations, addressing the forces redefining global dynamics and the implications for the future.
Our guest this week is Akaash Maharaj, a Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Ambassador-at-Large for the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC). With an academic foundation in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from Oxford University and a career dedicated to advancing good governance and the rule of law, Akaash brings invaluable expertise to the table. From addressing the United Nations on prosecuting kleptocrats to championing anti-corruption initiatives worldwide, his insights shed light on the challenges and opportunities shaping the global order.
