August has been quite a month for our Global Enduring Disorder. From China threatening military action as Pelosi visited Taiwan to a hacker group selling classified NATO documents online. Darina Dugina's death has added fuel to Russia's war in Ukraine, and record-breaking heatwaves and droughts are still impacting Europe, North America, and China. The need for strong collective action to address global challenges and keep aggressive nations in check is as necessary as ever. While progress seems stagnant for our global disorder, our team at NATO & the Global Enduring Disorder do have some exciting announcements. Last month our website, NATOandtheGlobalEnduringDisorder.com, officially launched. The site highlights excellent analysis by our Project Leads & Fellows and is regularly updated with their articles, interviews, and other work on global disorder. Be sure to visit the site to engage with their work and learn more. We are also grateful to our colleagues at Henry Jackson Society who are working with us on this project - you can find us listed as part of their research on 'Advancing the Free World': | | New Perspectives on Disorder | In our newsletters going forward, New Perspectives on Disorder will highlight some of the work that our Project Leads & Fellows have been doing to unpack, analyse, and offer solutions to the world's toughest challenges: | ▪ The Policy Ask with Arthur Snell: ‘Many of the world’s problems stem from the Iraq invasion’: Arthur Snell (Project Lead, Climate Change & Geopolitics), discussed the Iraq war, the Green Deal and electoral reform in an interview with The New Statesman.
