Professor Andrew Thompson recently authored an article for TIME Magazine entitled Why Global Aid Must be Reimagined (2026). He writes:

"His warning seems no less compelling a century on. We inhabit a volatile geopolitical era where the 80-year-old global order is collapsing but no clear alternative has emerged. Concerted international cooperation to make the world a better and fairer place is fading and is being replaced by transactional foreign policies and a disregard for established global norms and principles"
