The Age of Unpeace: How connectivity causes conflict

Economic orthodoxy argues that the more connected two countries
are, the less likely it is for conflict to arise. However,
economic theory is starting to change regarding this
premise.



Guntram Wolff is joined by Mark Leonard, director of the European
Council of Foreign Relations, to discuss his new book: The Age of
Unpeace: how connectivity causes conflict. In his new book,
Leonard argues a rather new and unique point: living in a
globalised world creates new vulnerabilities due to this
interconnection, and thus gives rise to unpeace. Guntram and
Leonard explore how connectivity has caused fragmentation, the
concept of unpeace, how we've gotten here, and what the EU should
do moving forward.
