World of the Right: Radical Conservatism and World Order
<p>The audio track from a very timely lecture organised by the <a href="https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/socialpolitical/research/stevensontrust/about/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stevenson Trust for Citizenship</a> and co-hosted by the <a href="https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-social-sciences/public-international-affairs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scottish Council on Global Affairs</a>.</p><p>It took place at the University of Glasgow in April 2025.</p><p>The speakers were Professors <a href="https://www.ritaabrahamsen.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Rita Abrahamsen</strong></a> & <a href="https://www.michaelcwilliams.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Michael C.

The potential consequences for the future of the liberal world order remain wide-ranging.</p><p>See also on <a href="https://youtu.be/RLWB65IMCbU?si=K37I4f5SzLfXVXWM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
