How The West DESTROYED The Unipolar Order | J. Matlock, K. vd Heuvel, A. Lieven

Forty years after Reykjavík, Ambassador Jack Matlock, Katrina vanden Heuvel and Anatol Lieven revisit the summit that brought nuclear abolition within reach. Matlock shares firsthand memories of Reagan, Gorbachev and the negotiations behind the headlines. The panel examines strategic defense, resistance to détente, Soviet reform, NATO expansion and the erosion of arms control. They contrast Cold War diplomacy with today’s confrontation and discuss why mutual security, restraint and cooperation remain essential to preventing catastrophe and rebuilding a more peaceful world.
