Description

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the global order was poised for disruption. Global institutions were seemingly getting weaker, the United States under the Trump administration was abdicating its traditional role as a global leader, and China was most definitely flaunting its rising power on the global stage. Now, in the midst of a pandemic all these trends are still very much present -- but they're also accelerating according to my guest, Ian Bremmer.  Ian Bremmer is President of the Eurasia Group and President of GZERO Media. And in our conversation we discuss the big geopolitical shifts that are being exposed and hastened by the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes what Ian Bremmer calls "the Great Decoupling" of China and the United States. We discuss the idea that economic and technological interdependence between the United States and China is giving way to the creation of two separate systems. We also talk about how political disruptions and the coming election in the United States will impact geopolitics.  Join a Live Taping of the podcast on April 29th!  Featuring: Isabella Lövin, Minister for Environment and Climate and Deputy Prime Minister, Sweden Henrik Henriksson, CEO, Scania Rachel Kyte, Dean, Fletcher School at Tufts University Michael Lazarus, Senior Scientist and US Centre Director, SEI Register here
