Like the rest of the world, on the 28th of February just past, this channel’s attention shifted abruptly to the US Israeli war on Iran and away from that other conflict whose unfolding had held the world in rapt attention until then. However, things happen even when you are not looking and they certainly have with the Ukraine conflict. Moreover, these developments are increasingly reacting explosively with those originating in the war on Iran, with implications for the world economy, of course, but also for the alliances and alignments that have structured the world order since the Second World War, not least NATO. In this Geopolitical Economy Hour, Radhika discusses the interaction of the Ukraine and Iran wars and how they are accelerating the reshaping of the world, its economy, its alliances and its institutions. They also discuss whether the current set of conflagrations can be called a world war. RadhikaDesai.com radicaldesai.substack.com   / radhikadesai
