Patrick Lawrence analyses the decline of the West and poses a crucial question:
Is the collapse of Western power a catastrophe – or the beginning of a new world order?
The discussion covers:
– The historical decline of Western dominance since 2001
– The role of the USA as a ‘disruptor’ rather than a shaper of the world order
– Why regime-change policies systematically fail
– The link between war, loss of power and the erosion of democracy at home
– Iran’s geopolitical significance in the global power structure
– The decline of journalism and the role of independent media
“You can have empire abroad, Western superiority, or you can have democracy at home. Empire and democracy are mutually exclusive. You cannot have both.”
The West is not only losing wars – it is losing its own order.
And it is accelerating this process through its own policies.
What is the guest calling for or criticising?
– A shift away from imperial power politics
– Recognition of a multipolar world order
– Strengthening of independent media and critical thinking
A conversation about power, order, empire and the collapse of political systems.
