You are invited to Threats to Western International Order – The Return of Peer Competition, a thought-provoking event brought to you by the University of Cambridge Centre for Geopolitics. This event is hosted by Cambridge in America and the CAm Toronto Regional Committee.

The international order faces unprecedented turbulence not just from non-state actors, complex emergencies and migration, but also and especially from great power competition. Against this background, the Directors of the Cambridge University Centre for Geopolitics, Professors Brendan Simms and William Hurst will speak to the Centre’s work. This includes research into Chinese politics and foreign policy under Xi Xinping, the tense situation in the South China Sea and across the Taiwan Strait, Sino-Iranian relations, US-China relations across time and issue areas, the challenge of Russian aggression in the Baltic Sea Region, and peace-building in the Middle East.

They will also describe the outreach they have conducted with government and the connections they have made between academe, students and government. In closing, they will address areas in which the Centre hopes to expand its reach and offerings further and outline ways attendees can become and stay engaged with the Centre’s work and research output.
