In this event, part of the Chatham House Centenary Lecture Series, HR McMaster considers the competitive advantages of open societies and defences against authoritarianism.

  • How can the US and other liberal democracies broker global relationships that foster cooperation?
  • What could happen if the US withdraws from global relationships and China and Russia step in?
  • What role do the private sector and academia play in defending liberal democracy?
  • And how does the COVID-19 pandemic change the way open societies can compete on the world stage?

As with all member events, questions from the audience drive the conversation.
