Are we truly entering a fundamentally more violent era, or do modern deterrence and globalization still hold the line against large-scale war? In this session, Stathis N. Kalyvas (Gladstone Professor of Government and Fellow at All Souls College in Oxford), and Andrea Ruggeri (Professor of Political Science at the University of Milan) break down the next day of global conflicts. 

 Listen in as they explore if a surge in global violence is actually reported, if we are shifting back toward interstate conflicts and the role of military technology innovation. How are nationalism, the nuclear taboo, and globalisation act as unexpected deterrents?
