The Laws of Thermodynamics as a Guide to International Affairs

The Tyrrell Perspective is a regular SAGE International commentary series by Commodore Patrick Tyrrell OBE RN (Ret.), offering a British naval and strategic perspective on contemporary defence, intelligence and international security.

Can the laws of thermodynamics help us think about international affairs? Patrick Tyrrell uses heat and entropy as a lens on spreading conflict, shifting alliances and the difficulty of containing a geopolitical chain reaction.
