Some people put learning off because it feels like a big commitment.

But most of our students start for a simple reason, they just want everyday work to feel easier.

Better emails, faster spreadsheets, more confidence with technology.

It doesn’t need to be complicated to make a difference.

Throughout history, major global powers have risen, adapted, and eventually changed shape.

From ancient empires through to modern nation states, historians have identified recurring pressures that can influence long-term stability, including economic strain, military commitments, inequality, political division, and institutional trust.

In this lecture, Judy King takes a historical and comparative approach to understanding these patterns, with a focus on the United States in the context of today’s global system.

It is an opportunity to step back and look at history not as isolated events, but as repeating patterns across time.

From the United Nations to global diplomacy, the post-WWII international system has shaped the world for generations.
