After the Cold War, many in the United States believed democracy was fait accompli around the world. Thirty years later, it is on shaky ground. U.S. allies such as Turkey, Hungary, and Poland are sliding into authoritarianism .In the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, dreams of economic and social stability are finding renewed purchase over more liberal values. President Biden plans to host a global summit for democracies to restore American alliances and revive democracy’s competitiveness. But is this the wisest or best response? On this week’s episode of None Of The Above, the Eurasia Group Foundation’s Mark Hannah is joined by James Goldgeier and Elmira Bayrasli to dig into the history of America’s alliance building strategy, a history which is shaped more by shared security interests than by shared values. James Goldgeier is a Robert Bosch senior visiting fellow at the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution. He is also a professor of International Relations at American University's School of International Service.

Men have been running the free world since men invented the term “free world.” But from the success of Jacinda Ardern and Angela Merkel at combating the pandemic to the ascension of Kamala Harris to the White House, women are demonstrating their strength as leaders more visibly than ever before. And over the past seven years, Sweden, Canada, France, Luxembourg, and Mexico all have adopted or pledged to implement what they call a “feminist foreign policy.” To that end, these nations have sought to place gender and women’s advancement at the center of every diplomatic decision, from trade agreements to treaty alliances, and from foreign aid to ambassadorial appointments. For these countries, feminist foreign policy also has had costs, including in diminished trade with nations like Saudi Arabia. What can the U.S. learn from countries that have adopted an explicitly feminist foreign policy? How might such a policy change America’s positions and priorities on climate change, migration, and military intervention, and tilt the balance of power around the world? Scripps College professor of politics Nancy Neiman, Foreign Policy Interrupted CEO and co-founder and New America fellow Elmira Bayrasli, Chief Advisor and Foreign Affairs Coordinator for Mexico City Diana Alarcón González, and Melanne Verveer, former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues and Executive Director of the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, visited Zócalo to explore what a feminist foreign policy would look like for America and the world. This Zócalo/Scripps College panel discussion was moderated by Alisha Haridasani Gupta, gender reporter at the New York Times.

Podcast 25 Bonnie Jenkins Speaks With Elmira Bayrasli by Women of Color Advancing Peace & Security

With Elmira Bayrasli global entrepreneurship author, CEO and co-founder of Foreign Policy Interrupted, and professor at Bard College Picture an entrepreneur in your head, and you probably place them somewhere in Silicon Valley – or at least somewhere in the United States. Yet, there are now more entrepreneurs in countries outside the U.S. than inside. And while many of these individuals have traditionally been “necessity entrepreneurs” – those who create ventures to live and survive – a growing number are now scaling up their businesses to operate like the ones we see in Silicon Valley: solving problems on a mass scale, employing thousands of people and attracting major investments. What’s behind the rise in global entrepreneurship? Elmira Bayrasli, author of From the Other Side of the World: Extraordinary Entrepreneurs, Unlikely Places, discusses what she’s learned by studying the stories of entrepreneurs in different cultural contexts and geographies around the world. Are there characteristics that all entrepreneurs share that help them succeed wherever they live? What roles do technology and economic globalization play? Do entrepreneurs in the non-Western world respond to setbacks more effectively? And what’s the potential for entrepreneurship to influence foreign policy and help solve economic and social challenges on a global scale?

Over the last few weeks, Opinion Has It host Elmira Bayrasli sat down with three experts to discuss the legacy of the Tiananmen Square protests, 30 years after they were violently crushed by the Chinese Communist Party. That episode was published last week. During the conversation with Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch, Elmira asked about China's progress in the use of surveillance and tools of repression. Here's what Sophie had to say for this week's outtake.

Often when we're recording, we end up asking questions that are very interesting, but don't make it into our final episode. Rather than letting this just sit as extra tape our hard drive, we want to turn these questions into outtakes. Here's our first one. Last week, we published an episode with Ambassador William Burns, a career diplomat who served for 33 years in the US Foreign Service. We asked him about the future of the Iran Nuclear Deal. But from 2005-2008 Bill Burns was the ambassador to Russia. Our host, Elmira Bayrasli, asked what he had to say about the relationship between the US and Russia.

World Policy Institute — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's support for the Russian-brokered cease-fire in Syria continued a trend of closer ties with Russia and increasing distance from the U.S. On the latest episode of World Policy On Air, World Policy Institute fellow and Turkey expert Elmira Bayrasli assesses what Erdoğan's geopolitical maneuvering means for the numerous security challenges his country still faces.

Turkey is in crisis. A number of terrorist attacks in recent weeks has rattled Turkish society, there is a persistent and ongoing crackdown on civil society, and President Erdogan is engineering constitutional changes to further consolidate power.  On the line with me to discuss recent events in Turkey and offer some deeper context into the political situation and the future of US-Turkey relations is Elmira Bayrasli.

Donald J. Trump has nominated ExxonMobil CEO, Rex Tillerson, to be Secretary of State, placing Big Oil in charge of Big International Affairs. Is the pick a bad one because of his background and ties to Russia? Or is this another example of bringing business and corporate excellence to bear on the staid political world? In this episode, we speak with Elmira Bayrasli, former state department member under Madeline Albright and James Holbrooke. Elmira is an international affairs expert and author of the book, From The Other Side of The World Extraordinary Entrepreneurs, Unlikely Places.
