Ian Shapiro, Sterling Professor of Political Science and Global Affairs at Yale, continues his DeVane Lecture course "Power and Politics in Today's World" with a session on the international order that followed the Cold War. He opens with three analytic lenses, interests, institutions, and ideals, then uses them to work through the first post-Cold War crisis, the changing role of NATO after the Soviet collapse, the origins of the Washington Consensus, and the growth of the European Union. The lecture traces how the euphoria of the early 1990s gave way to the expansion debates that shaped NATO and EU membership through the following decades. Recorded at Yale in fall 2019 for a course open to students and the public, it runs about 74 minutes and forms part of the material behind Shapiro's book After the Fall.
