He contends that the great paradox of the pandemic was that it was the EU’s failure rather than its success that

In her address to the IIEA, Dr Mathews examines the future of US foreign policy in the wake of the withdrawal from Afghanistan earlier this year. She argues that once attention shifts from tactical errors made in the closing weeks of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan to, what she describes as, “the drifting purpose and self-delusion" of the preceding 20 years, the shock of failure in America’s longest war may provide an open moment to re-examine earlier interventions and to reconsider US foreign
