From Trump and Putin to Xi Jinping, are unpredictable leaders pushing the world towards a new era of global disorder?

Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Erdoğan and Javier Milei. From authoritarian strongmen to populist firebrands and increasingly influential tech billionaires, powerful personalities are challenging international norms, disrupting alliances and reshaping the global order. But are we entering an age of geopolitical madness?

Join us for a discussion with Tina Fordham and Mark Leonard, as we explore the personalities, ambitions and power struggles driving global instability.

Are today's leaders more reckless than their predecessors, or is the international order simply too fragile to contain them? What happens when personal ambitions and political egos dictate foreign policy? And can diplomacy and international institutions still keep the world's most powerful figures in check?
