EveningReport A View from Afar: Define A Way Forward When the World is in Chaos
Source: EveningReport.nz (Video Podcasts)
PODCAST – I am Selwyn Manning and this is A View from Afar:
For this, the sixth series of A View from Afar, my friend… political scientist and former Pentagon Analyst… Paul Buchanan and will deep-dive into geopolitical issues and trends and unpick relevancy from a world experiencing rapid and significant change.
And in this episode, our topic will be: How to Define A Way Forward When the World is in Chaos.
Since the re-election of the US President Donald Trump, Paul has been doing a lot of work… a lot of reading… and a huge amount of thinking.
Today we are going to hear from Paul about:
1. The US Trump Administration’s “Authoritarianism at home, Imperialism abroad" currency.
2. How to deconstruct the entire "spheres of Influence" nonsense.
3. About United States fears of the rise of the Global South in a polycentric world.
4. And Paul and I will lean-forward and consider; what to expect in the medium and long term.
Before we kick off this new series, first; remember, if you are joining us live via the social media platforms, feel free to comment as we can include your comments and questions in this programme.
And, we especially encourage you to join us via YouTube, as on YouTube live interaction is especially efficient.
