On November 19, the ACG, 1014, and the Goethe Institut hosted a virtual discussion on international law. Samuel Moyn, Chancellor Kent Professor of Law and History at Yale University, joins us with Alexander Görlach, journalist and adjunct professor for democratic theory at NYU Gallatin School, to reflect on the state of the post-World War II international order. In a time when multilateral cooperation faces significant challenges, we discuss how diplomacy and the rule of law can be strengthened so that, in the face of conflicts from Ukraine and Gaza to potential tensions over Taiwan, the principle of “might makes right” does not overshadow efforts toward peace, justice, and stability.
