Russia, China, and Iran: Reshaping the International Order?
About This Event
The most significant challenge to the post-Cold War international order is the growing power of ambitious states opposed to the West. Iran, China, and Russia stand poised to take advantage of the US withdrawal from the world stage and reshape the world order. Iran’s relations with Russia and China have helped it form a bulwark against Western efforts to isolate it. From political exchanges and international trade agreements to military cooperation, closer cooperation among the “triple axis” on these issues would have critical implications for US interests and the Western liberal order it has championed for decades. Will these relationships prevent the US from fully isolating Iran once again? Where are relations between Iran and Russia and Iran and China heading, and how could the US react?
