Amol Rajan is joined by academics, thinkers and politicians to discuss what the war in Ukraine might mean for the new world order. The world was rewritten after World War II and new alliances and republics formed. From the Cold War to the Eastern European revolutions of the 1980s and the conflicts in the Middle East, alliances have been constantly tested and changed. But what does the new war in Ukraine and the fractures it is opening up mean for the alliances and institutions which emerged from the middle of the 20th century? Is NATO going to regain lost credibility? What is the role of blocs like the EU and institutions like the UN in this emerging world? And where will Russia turn for new alliances?

Joining Amol Rajan are:
Niall Ferguson, author, historian, senior fellow at Stanford University, and senior faculty fellow of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard.
Anne Applebaum, journalist and historian, expert on the history of communism and the development of civil society in Central and Eastern Europe.
Andrey Kortunov, director-general of the Russian International Affairs Council.
Professor Rana Mitter, professor of the History and Politics of Modern China and the director of the University of Oxford China Centre.
