Robert Fox
Entropy, Lawfare and a New Political Order

Monday 28.08.2023

Summary

Entropy, a lack of order and predictability, has entered the political vocabulary to describe the Trump campaign, the upheavals in Israel and South Africa, and more. Lawfare is the weaponisation of the law. How are these two ideas being invoked in politics today? Robert Fox looks at how these concepts are influencing BRICS and more.
