Professor Michael Cox speaking on EH Carr to crowd at LSE IDEAS

Looking Back: Looking Forward. Another 'Twenty Years' Crisis?

The international system is facing a perfect storm. Can history teach us how to avoid crisis?

In 1939 E.H. Carr authored a classic book on international politics explaining why the world had experienced a 'Twenty Years' Crisis' following the Versailles Peace Treaty of 1919.

Are we on the verge of another crisis of equal intensity? What can history teach us? And are there any lessons we need to learn from the past that might help us navigate the future?
