Description
From Rome and the Ottomans to Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States, empires have repeatedly risen, expanded and declined throughout history.
This major conversation examines how great powers lose legitimacy, how societies experience transition and how political orders begin to fragment and transform.
Exploring imperial overstretch, symbolism, nationalism, nostalgia and the psychology of decline, the panel asks whether we are witnessing another major global transition and what history reveals about moments when established orders begin to unravel.
