Welcome to a new episode of Political Bark

In this episode I interview Halvard Wideroe, a political scientists and engineer. We discuss the 'small' topic of the world moving from a 'unipolar setting' to a 'multipolar world order'. We have all seen the cold relationship between China, Russia and the US/West. We are actually in the middle of somewhat of a propaganda war between the two poles. What we are seeing is in my opinion a shift from a world order, to another one. This means that power dynamics, alliances, and the economy is shifting, replacing a model which we have followed since the end of the cold war and up until today. What we have seen from 1945 to 1991 might be a resemblance of what is to come, according to some scholars, and in this episode of Political Bark we attempt to predict how, and why. Tune in!
