This public conversation between Professor T.V. Paul from McGill University in Canada and Professor Kai He from Toda Peace Institute focuses on one of the most important questions in world politics: Is peaceful change still possible in an increasingly turbulent international system at a time of profound international uncertainty? The central challenge is not only to understand how international orders change, but also to ask whether such change can be managed without large-scale war, systemic breakdown, or prolonged confrontation. The concept of peaceful change directs our attention to the conditions, institutions, and actors that may help states adapt to shifting power, interests, and identities through negotiation, accommodation, and institutional adjustment, rather than coercion or violence.
