Description

by Oussama Tayebi, International Relations Senior Specialist and Diego Marroquín Bitar, Inaugural Bersin-Foster North America Scholar, The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

The global order is undergoing significant transformations. With Donald Trump's return to the political stage, escalating US-China tensions, and the rising influence of assertive middle powers, international affairs are more fragmented and unpredictable than ever. This episode explores how great powers are redefining their strategies, how middle players are recalibrating their roles, and what this means for global governance, diplomacy, and economic policy. We delve into shifting alliances, strategic competition, and the economic and institutional consequences of a rapidly changing world order.
This conversation is part of Young Voices, Echoes of Change, a podcast series that amplifies young experts' perspectives on global affairs, offering new insights on the challenges and opportunities shaping our world.
