The Disorder Pod, co-produced with Evergreen Podcasts
Gone are the days of coherent international coordination. Rather than working together to solve pressing crises, many of the world’s most powerful states are actively making those crises worse. The result? We’re living through a novel historical era: The Global Enduring Disorder.
The Disorder podcast teases out the key principles that connect seemingly disparate challenges: from Climate Change, to Unregulated Cyberspace, to Neo-Populism, to the wars in Ukraine or Libya. At the conclusion of each episode, the podcast proposes inventive, win-win solutions to the globe’s most pressing challenges in our ‘Ordering the Disorder’ segment.
Hosted by Jason Pack (Royal United Services Institute Associate Fellow) and co-hosted by Arthur Snell (Former British Diplomat andJane Kinninmont (Chair of the UN Organization of the UK), Disorder is your essential guide to understanding the fundamental principles lurking behind today’s global affairs.

Jason Pack speaks at the Vail Symposium on ‘The Enduring Disorder: Ukraine, Libya and the Struggle for Global Leadership’.
Pack presents the Libya and Ukraine conflicts as ideal microcosms. He sees the rise of neo-populism throughout the democratic world as connected to this “enduring disorder.” Pack examines the current state of the world and American policy towards key geostrategic hotspots framed in light of his “Enduring Disorder” concept. Expanding on the discoveries of his core research on Libya, he will discuss how the West’s response to the Ukraine crisis highlights where today’s geopolitics seem to be headed, bringing into sharp focus the need for a Western-led, rules-based global order and institutions like NATO. He is joined in conversation with former NBC News correspondent George Lewis.
