With October drawing to a close, we have seen new aspects of the Global Enduring Disorder revealing themselves through a range of novel and interconnected international developments. This month, our Project Leads and Fellows have examined: how Liz Truss's resignation demonstrates that British parliamentary democratic institutions are capable of holding leaders accountable for their disordering actions; why protests against the Iranian regime should be supported by a 'unified' value-orientated West; how minilateral agreements and strategic relationships can be fostered by the nations with seemingly bad relationships, such as Turkey and Israel; and how we can continue to chart a pathway away from disorder by working towards better communication, coordination, and strengthening global institutions to tackle social unrest, climate change, and anti-democratic leaderships.
Of paramount interest to the Enduring Disorder team is determining how Western coordination on the War in Ukraine, peace-making in Libya, Yemen, and Syria, climate policy, and other challenges are affected by political volatility within major world powers. It seems that the silent ripples of the Enduring Disorder are permeating deeper into institutional and social fabrics, making political outcomes in far flung geographies like Lebanon, England, and Brazil increasingly trend towards disorder. As always, we are here to provide analysis, insight, and potential solutions to our Enduring Disorder and hope you will engage with the work we have been doing to unpack this era.
