Is the post-World War II international order being dismantled? Are we witnessing an unprecedented assault on the international order, or are current events just part of a natural ebb and flow of history?

In the inaugural episode, we sat down with top experts in international law for their assessments on where we stand today, how we got here, and the future of the international order. In Part I, guests Harold Koh, Oona Hathaway, and Dapo Akande give their assessments on the current historical moment, touching on Brexit, the role of China in the international order, the rise of populism, and hopes for the future.

Guests: Harold Koh, Professor of International Law at Yale Law School and former Legal Adviser of the U.S. Department of State; Oona Hathaway, Professor of International Law at Yale Law School and former Special Counsel to the General Counsel for National Security Law at the U.S. Department of Defense; and Dapo Akande, Professor of Public International Law and the University of Oxford.
