In doing so, they have unwittingly created a formidable arsenal of weapons for new kinds of conflict and the motivation to keep fighting. Rising tensions in global politics are not a bump in the road - they are part of the paving. We are now seeing rising conflicts on many levels, from individuals on social media all the way up to nation-states in entrenched stand-offs. The past decade has seen a new antagonism between the US and China; an inability to co-operate on global issues such as climate change or pandemic response; and a breakdown in the distinction between war and peace, as overseas troops are replaced by sanctions, cyberwar, and the threat of large migrant flows. In seeking to understand the ways that globalisation has broken its fundamental promise to make our world safer and more prosperous, Leonard explores how we might wrest a more hopeful future from an age of unpeace. In his new book \u201cThe Age of Unpeace: How Connectivity causes Conflict\u201d he shows how many of the forces that we thought would bring us together have ended up driving us apart. Instead of the promised global village an era of \u201cunpeace\u201d has been created, where the distinctions between war and peace are breaking down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Leonard<\/strong>, British Political Scientist, Author, Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations<br \/>\n<strong>Eva<\/strong> <strong>Nowotny<\/strong>, Board Member of Bruno Kreisky Forum, Amb. ret., Chair of the Vienna University Board<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube Premiere\u00a0 EVA NOWOTNY IN CONVERSATION WITH MARK LEONARD THE AGE OF UNPEACE: HOW CONNECTIVITY CAUSES CONFLICT In the three decades since the end of the Cold War, global leaders have been integrating the world's economy, transport and communications, breaking down borders in the hope of making war impossible.
