Podcasts about German Marshall Fund

For years, foreign adversaries have worked to spread misinformation. The German Marshall Fund found that Russia, China and others are becoming more effective at it, targeting state and local governments. North Carolina is one of those targets, and social media is aiding the spread.

The AI revolution is underway, and the U.S. and China are racing to the top. At the heart of this competition are semiconductors—especially advanced GPUs that power everything from natural language processing to autonomous weapons. The U.S. is betting that export controls can help check China's technological ambitions. But will this containment strategy work—or could it inadvertently accelerate China's drive for self-sufficiency? Those who think chip controls will work argue that restricting China's access gives the U.S. critical breathing room to advance AI safely, set global norms, and maintain dominance. Those who believe chip controls are inadequate, or could backfire, warn that domestic chipmakers, like Nvidia and Intel, also rely on sales from China. Cutting off access could harm U.S. competitiveness in the long run, especially if other countries don't fully align with U.S. policy.     As the race for AI supremacy intensifies, we debate the question: Can the U.S. Outpace China in AI Through Chip Controls?    Arguing Yes:     Lindsay Gorman, Managing Director and Senior Fellow of the German Marshall Fund's Technology Program; Venture Scientist at Deep Science Ventures      Will Hurd, Former U.S. Representative and CIA Officer     Arguing No:    Paul Triolo, Senior Vice President and Partner at DGA-Albright Stonebridge Group     Susan Thornton, Former Diplomat; Visiting Lecturer in Law and Senior Fellow at the Yale Law School Paul Tsai China Center    Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  This debate was produced in partnership with Johns Hopkins University.    This debate was recorded on May 14, 2025 at 6 PM at Shriver Hall, 3400 N Charles St Ste 14, in Baltimore, Maryland.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

Cent jours après le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison-Blanche, intéressons-nous à la résistance qui se dresse face à la politique menée par le président américain, et au rejet du populisme qui s'exprime dans plusieurs élections occidentales, de l'Australie au Canada. Pour en parler, nous recevons Alix Frangeul-Alves, coordinatrice de programme au sein du think tank The German Marshall Fund of the United States pour le département risques géopolitiques et stratégie, spécialiste de politique intérieure et extérieure des États-Unis.

In an episode originally released by The German Marshall Fund's China Global Podcast with Bonnie Glaser, managing director of GMF's Indo-Pacific program, co-host Ray Powell was interviewed about recent developments in the Yellow Sea and China's broader gray zone tactics in the maritime realm.---This episode of the China Global podcast discusses evolving disputes between China and South Korea, specifically regarding their unresolved maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea. There is a long history of fishing disputes between the two countries in the Provisional Measures Zone (or PMZ) of the Yellow Sea, which is where their exclusive economic zones overlap. Although China and South Korea have engaged in negotiations over the years, they have yet to come to an agreement on their boundaries in the Yellow Sea.Taking advantage of the persisting disagreement on delimitation of maritime borders, China has employed gray zone tactics in the Yellow Sea to expand its territorial presence in the region. In the most recent dispute, China installed a new steel structure in the PMZ, causing a maritime standoff between Chinese and Korean coast guards.To discuss recent developments in the Yellow Sea and China's broader gray zone tactics in the maritime realm, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Ray Powell, the Director of SeaLight, a maritime transparency project at Stanford University's Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Ray is also the co-host of the Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific podcast, and a 35-year veteran of the US Air Force.

Avec le retour de Donald Trump, l'Europe éprouve un mélange ambigu d'admiration et de méfiance envers Washington. Toujours séduit par le dynamisme et l'esprit d'innovation des États-Unis, le Vieux Continent n'en redoute pas moins leurs ambitions géopolitiques et semble s'apprêter à prendre pour de bon ses distances avec l'Oncle Sam. L'imposition par l'administration Trump de droits de douane sur les produits européens et les menaces de nouvelles guerres commerciales sont en train de déstabiliser les économies du continent qui reconsidèrent leur dépendance au marché américain et explorent d'autres partenariats. Alors que la croissance mondiale est revue en forte baisse, la zone euro semble moins affectée. Au-delà, l'unité de l'OTAN est mise à rude épreuve poussant l'Europe vers la mise en œuvre d'une plus grande autonomie de défense. Reste que l'adhésion enthousiaste de certains dirigeants européens aux politiques nationalistes de Trump contrastant fortement avec le scepticisme et l'inquiétude des autres mettent en évidence des divisions.  Que peuvent faire les Européens face à Trump et laissés seuls face à Poutine ?  Invités : Françoise Thom, historienne, soviétologue, maîtresse de conférences émérite à la Sorbonne Université Alix Frangeul-Alves, coordinatrice de programmes, Risques géopolitiques et stratégie à la German Marshall Fund of the United States Guillaume Duval, conseiller auprès de l'Institut Jacques Delors.

With Ankara warning Tehran not to undermine Syria's new rulers and its ongoing peace efforts with Kurdish rebels, regional rivalry with Iran has been intensifying. However, Turkey's concerns about potential US military action against Iran over its nuclear energy programme are now providing a rare point of convergence between the two rivals. After months of diplomatic barbs and threats exchanged between Ankara and Tehran, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, on Wednesday praised his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, for what he described as a “constructive and supportive position” regarding the indirect US-Iranian talks in Oman over Iran's nuclear energy programme.Oman TalksThe Oman talks aim to avert a possible US military strike on Iran, an option that President Donald Trump has not ruled out. Despite the strained relations with Tehran, avoiding confrontation remains a priority for Ankara.“Turkey would be concerned for many reasons,” claims Özgür Ünlühisarcıklı, who heads the German Marshall Fund's office in Ankara.“This would be just another war on Turkey's borders. Turkey would have to deal with difficult problems, and instability in Iran would almost certainly lead to an additional wave of refugees,” he added.Kurdish leader Ocalan calls for PKK disarmament, paving way for peaceTurkish diplomatic tensions with Iran have been on the rise, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issuing thinly veiled threats to Tehran, urging it not to interfere in Ankara's efforts to end the conflict with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has waged a decades-long campaign for greater minority rights within Turkey.“Ankara believes that Iran is trying to undermine this [peace] process both in Turkey and in Syria,” observes Serhan Afacan, who heads the Centre for Iranian Studies, a research organisation based in Ankara.In February, the imprisoned PKK leader, Abdullah Öcalan, called for his organisation to disarm. With the PKK operating from bases in Iraq and having an affiliated group in Syria, Ankara has frequently accused Tehran of using the PKK as a proxy in its regional contest for power and influence. Afacan contends that Ankara fears Tehran still holds sway over the Kurdish rebels.“Especially in Syria, Iran might try to convince them not to respond positively to Öcalan's call – this has been Turkey's main concern,” warned Afacan.Iranian uneaseThe recent ousting of long-time Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad has deprived Iran of a key ally, while Syria's new rulers are aligned with Ankara rather than Tehran. A peace agreement between Turkish forces and Kurdish rebels would only deepen Iran's unease over Turkey's growing regional influence.“Turkey is about to end the PKK through its policies both domestically and regionally, and this is causing a kind of panic on the Iranian side,” observes Bilgehan Alagöz, a professor of international relations at Istanbul's Marmara University. “Iran sees this as a threat to its regional influence and a development that could empower Turkey,” Alagöz added.Nevertheless, Syria's Kurdish-led militia, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which maintains close ties with the PKK, has stated it is not bound by Öcalan's call to disarm. Although it has agreed in principle with Syria's new rulers to merge its forces, the precise terms of the arrangement remain unclear.Syria's new leadershipTensions also persist between the SDF and Syria's new leadership. The Kurdish-led militia continues to demand greater autonomy within Syria — a position opposed by Damascus's new rulers and their backers in Ankara. Turkey suspects Tehran of favouring a decentralised and weakened Syria — a goal analysts say is also shared by Israel.“The Middle East makes strange bedfellows,” notes Gallia Lindenstrauss, a foreign policy expert at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. “Sometimes, these things unfold in ways that are surprising.”Lindenstrauss also questions the Israeli government's zero-sum view of Turkey, which it sees as both a rival and a supporter of Syria's new rulers.He told RFI: “I'm not sure this idea of a decentralised Syria is fully thought through by Jerusalem. I know there's a lot of intellectual energy devoted to this line of thinking. But clearly, we don't want Iran to use Syria to its advantage. A centralised regime might be a better scenario for Syria. But that comes at a cost — and the cost is increased Turkish involvement and influence in Syria. So, there is a dilemma.”Last month, Fidan angered Tehran by warning that Iran could face instability if it attempted to destabilise Syria — a statement some analysts interpret as a veiled reference to Iran's sizeable and often restive Turkish minority, which is viewed with suspicion by Tehran.Ünlühisarcıklı believes Ankara sees itself as gaining the upper hand in its regional rivalry with Tehran, yet remains cautious about the risks posed by a potential US-Iran conflict.Turkey's Erdogan sees new Trump presidency as opportunity“Turkey has outcompeted Iran, and it has no objection to Iran being further weakened,” Ünlühisarcıklı remarked.“But Turkey would have a serious problem with Iran being targeted militarily, as that would destabilise the entire region.”Avoiding such a conflict now offers common ground for Turkey and its long-time regional competitor Iran — a relationship often described as a delicate balance between cooperation and competition.Analysts expect this balancing act to be severely tested in the months to come.

As China's military capabilities expand, US-China frictions intensify, and regional tensions increase, concern is on the rise that a potential crisis, either accidental or deliberate, could take place that could spiral out of control. If a crisis arises with China, leaders may want to de-escalate and prevent a wider conflict. To do so, they will need to understand how China thinks about crisis management and escalation.The guest for this episode has dug into the writings of PLA strategists and authoritative PRC sources as well as Western scholarship to assess how China views military escalation and how the US and other countries can accurately predict and interpret PRC signal in crisis scenarios.Lyle Morris is a Senior Fellow on Foreign Policy and National Security at the Center for China Analysis at the Asia Society Policy Institute.

The year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of China's Digital Silk Road, which has become an increasingly crucial component of Xi Jinping's flagship foreign policy project: the Belt and Road Initiative. Over the past decade, China has massively expanded its digital infrastructure investment across the globe. Accompanying the investment has been the diffusion of China's digital governance norms and standards in recipient states. Countries in the Indo-Pacific have been at the forefront of this stretching Chinese digital influence landscape. The conflation between digital development cooperation and digital governance norms adoption has far-reaching implications that need to be better understood and addressed. To discuss the issue, Michael Caster joins host Bonnie Glaser. Caster is the Head of Global China Programmeat ARTICLE 19, an NGO that advances freedom of opinion and expression. His organization has published two reports examining China's Digital Silk Road. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:30] Understanding China's Digital Silk Road [05:57] China's Digital Governance Norms[10:16] China's Digital Footprints Abroad[16:07] Attractiveness of Chinese Digital Solutions[18:56] Role of High-Tech Companies in Digital Governance[21:44] Assessing the Effectiveness of China's Digital Governance[23:14] State-Driven Surveillance and Censorship[27:39] China's BeiDou Navigation System [31:09] How should governments respond to these normative shifts?

Nuclear weapons have changed the nature of modern warfare and exerted a profound impact on international politics. The Cold War logic of nuclear deterrence maintains that nuclear-armed states will not attack one another because of fear of massive retaliation, or mutually assured destruction. By this logic, nuclear weapons promote stability and can prevent war.At the same time, however, nuclear weapons created a new dilemma. That is: “How can a state achieve its political objectives through military force without triggering a catastrophic nuclear exchange?”This is a dilemma faced by all countries, especially nuclear powers. States have responded differently to this dilemma. What is China's answer to this strategic dilemma? What has Beijing been doing to gain strategic leverage? How should we evaluate the success of China's approach so far?These issues are the subject of a new book titled Under the Nuclear Shadow: China's Information Age Weapons in International Security. The author, Fiona Cunningham, joins host Bonnie Glaser for this episode. Fiona is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a Faculty Fellow at Perry World House and affiliated with the Center for the Study of Contemporary China and the Christopher H.

The past few months have rocked the Transatlantic relationship, as European leaders try to come to terms with a growing rift between Europe and the US that ranges from Ukraine to questions about America's overall commitment to European defense and security. As the gap between Europe and America widens, this is also raising key questions in Greece, a key US ally and member of the EU. Ian Lesser, the vice president and Brussels chief of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, joins Thanos Davelis to break down what's at stake for Europe, and look at how Greece can navigate this new reality, balancing its ties with the US and its European partners.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:US or EU?

C dans l'air l'invitée du 12 mars 2025 : Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer, politologue, spécialiste des relations transatlantiques et internationales, présidente du think tank German Marshall Fund of the United States.Plus de huit heures de "discussions productives". L'Ukraine a affirmé que les négociations mardi avec les États-Unis à Jeddah (Arabie saoudite) avaient débuté de manière "très constructive", avec une proposition de cessez-le-feu partiel. La Maison Blanche a applaudi de son côté des discussions "productives", après huit heures de pourparlers.Les négociateurs ukrainiens sont arrivés à Jeddah avec une proposition de "trêve dans les airs" et "en mer" avec Moscou, avait indiqué lundi à l'AFP un haut responsable ukrainien. Et ce mardi soir, à la fin des réunions, l'offre d'une trêve de 30 jours avec la Russie est sur la table.L'Ukraine "accepte cette proposition" et "est prête pour la paix", a répété le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky sur ses réseaux sociaux. Cependant "la Russie doit montrer si elle est prête à mettre fin à la guerre ou à la poursuivre" a-t-il ajouté. Washington doit donc désormais convaincre le Kremlin d'accepter cette trêve. Le président américain a déclaré dans la soirée qu'il "allait parler à Vladimir Poutine", sans doute cette semaine.En échange de l'accord de l'Ukraine, les États-Unis acceptent de leur côté de lever leurs restrictions, selon la déclaration commune. "Les États-Unis feront savoir à la Russie que la réciprocité russe est la clé de la paix", déclare le communiqué

Undersea cables form the backbone of global communication, with over 95% of global internet traffic relying on hundreds of fibre-optic cables criss-crossing the globe. But recent incidents such as disruption to cables in the Baltic Sea have highlighted concerns over their security and raised the possibility of ‘grey zone warfare'. The Inquiry examines who owns and runs this vast global network, what happens when things go wrong, and what the future holds for underseas cables. Are they powerful enough to sustain future communications, and what role could quantum technology play in their future?

Vishwa Shastra: India and the World is the new book by the scholar and foreign affairs analyst Dhruva Jaishankar. The book provides a comprehensive overview of India's interactions with the world—from ancient times to the present day.The book also serves as a comprehensive resource for those seeking to understand how India might define the emerging world order. In so doing, it rebuts the conventional wisdom that India lacks a strategic culture.Dhruva is Executive Director of the Observer Research Foundation America, which he helped establish in 2020. He has previously worked at Brookings India, the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.Dhruva joins Milan on the podcast this week to talk more about his book and the evolution of Indian foreign policy. The two discuss why India's approach to the world is so poorly understood, misperceptions of India's strategic culture, and the pre-independence drivers of Indian foreign policy. Plus, Dhruva and Milan assess the state of India-Pakistan relations, challenges to India's ability to connect with Southeast Asia, and whether and how Trump 2.0 alters India's strategic picture.Episode notes:1.

Le président américain Donald Trump poursuit sa politique de licenciements massifs au sein de l'administration fédérale. Exemple: le CDC, l'agence en charge de la prévention et du contrôle des maladies, où près de 10% des employés, dont 1 700 scientifiques, sont concernés par ces coupes budgétaires, menées sous la houlette d'Elon Musk et de son organisme pour l'efficacité budgétaire. Ces licenciements suscitent une vive opposition, comme l'a constaté notre correspondant Édouard Maille à Atlanta. De nombreux employés et élus démocrates sont descendus dans les rues de la capitale de la Géorgie pour dénoncer la brutalité et les dangers que ces purges représentent, selon eux, pour la santé publique.Parmi les manifestants à Atlanta, Ann Malarcher, analyste en santé récemment licenciée, exprime son désarroi face à des procédures chaotiques : accès informatique coupé immédiatement, instructions contradictoires pour restituer son matériel et absence totale de communication. Ce climat de confusion est partagé par de nombreux employés. Selon l'élue démocrate Saira Draper, les victimes de cette purge redoutent désormais des représailles s'ils osent protester. Le manque de préparation et la suppression soudaine de postes compromettent des projets de recherche de plusieurs années ainsi que la gestion de données essentielles.Les experts en santé publique s'inquiètent des conséquences de ces licenciements sur la lutte contre les épidémies. Katrina Kretsinger, spécialiste des maladies infectieuses, cite l'épidémie de rougeole au Texas, où le manque de personnel et de ressources entrave la surveillance et le diagnostic. John Besser, ancien responsable du CDC, alerte sur la rupture des collaborations internationales, alors que les maladies ne connaissent pas de frontières. Cette restructuration s'inscrit dans une refonte plus large du ministère de la Santé, désormais dirigé par R.F. Kennedy, connu pour ses positions anti-vaccins, en contradiction avec les recommandations des experts du CDC. Trois ans de guerre en Ukraine : quel avenir pour la relation entre Washington et Kiev ?Depuis trois ans, l'Ukraine fait face à la Russie dans une guerre de plus en plus difficile pour Kiev. L'usure du conflit, la perte de terrain et un bouleversement des relations avec son principal soutien militaire, les États-Unis, marquent cette période. L'arrivée de Donald Trump au pouvoir a chamboulé ces relations, comme l'explique Martin Quincez, directeur du German Marshall Fund à Paris et spécialiste de la politique étrangère américaine.Selon lui, la relation entre les États-Unis et l'Ukraine est en pleine mutation sous l'influence de Donald Trump, qui adopte une approche transactionnelle. Contrairement à Joe Biden, qui défendait la souveraineté ukrainienne face à la Russie, Trump estime que l'Ukraine fait partie de la sphère d'influence russe et veut négocier un accord où Kiev devrait rembourser une partie de l'aide américaine. Une logique qui rappelle du «racket», selon certains responsables ukrainiens. Donald Trump met la pression sur Volodymyr Zelensky, qu'il qualifie de «dictateur sans élection», cherchant ainsi à forcer un cessez-le-feu favorable aux intérêts américains et russes. Pourtant, les livraisons d'armes américaines se poursuivent, car elles restent un levier stratégique dans ces négociations.Parallèlement, l'administration Trump pourrait redéfinir profondément les alliances internationales des États-Unis. L'Europe tente de compenser un éventuel désengagement américain en renforçant son soutien militaire et économique à Kiev pour éviter une capitulation face à Moscou. Mais Donald Trump, en repensant les relations transatlantiques sous un prisme purement mercantile, remet en cause le fonctionnement de l'OTAN et exige un retour sur investissement de la part des alliés européens. Cette vision pourrait durablement transformer l'ordre international en instaurant des relations basées sur des échanges financiers plutôt que sur des principes de défense commune.Haïti : Un policier kényan de la MMAS tué lors d'une patrouilleHaïti a connu un nouveau week-end de violences marqué par des attaques de gangs contre des civils et les forces de l'ordre. Parmi les victimes, des brigadiers haïtiens et un policier kényan de la Mission multinationale de soutien à la sécurité (MMAS), blessé par balle lors d'une patrouille dans l'Artibonite avant de succomber à ses blessures. Il s'agit du premier décès au sein de cette mission déployée depuis six mois, qui peine à stabiliser la situation sécuritaire. Malgré la présence de 1 000 policiers étrangers, majoritairement kenyans, la violence des gangs ne cesse d'augmenter.Face à cette situation, la République dominicaine a décidé de renforcer la surveillance à sa frontière avec Haïti. Le gouvernement de Saint-Domingue, qui place la lutte contre l'immigration clandestine au cœur de ses priorités, demande également un financement accru pour la MMAS. Pendant ce temps, les gangs poursuivent leur progression, rendant la capitale toujours plus instable et menaçant davantage la mission internationale.Journal de la 1èreEn Martinique, le protocole contre la vie chère signé en octobre 2024 poursuit son chemin.

The Global South is a term that covers a broad swath of developing countries and emerging economies in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. It is a grouping of over 130 heterogenous countries that is pushing to enhance its voice in global decision making. China, which self-identifies as a leader of the developing world, has a long history of engaging with the developing world. Under Xi Jinping, Beijing has deepened its ties with Global South countries through economic investment, diplomatic engagement, and security cooperation.  Meanwhile, developed countries from the wealthier and more industrialized Global North are stepping up efforts to counter Chinese influence and win support from Global South countries.  What are China's interests in the Global South?  What are the key strategies and tactics that Beijing utilizes to influence and engage with those countries? How have countries in the Global South responded to China's influence?  And how will intensified Sino-American rivalry impact developing countries in the future? To discuss these issues, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Mr. Masaaki Yatsuzuka, Senior Research Fellow at the China Division of the Regional Studies Department at the National Institute for Defense Studies in Japan (NIDS).  He is the co-author of the recently published report titled “The Rising Global South and China.”  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:55] Resurgent Interest in the Global South [04:28] Engaging Developing Countries[06:51] Economic Tools and Mechanisms to Exert Influence[08:55] Motivation for Expanding Military Presence [12:33] Perceptions of China in the Global South [15:07] Why does China's involvement in the Global South matter? [17:39] US-China Competition Impacting the Global South[19:00] India, Brazil, and Other Rising Powers[20:35] Tokyo's Concerns Over China's Influence [22:41] Response to Increased Attention Paid to Developing Countries[24:37] China's Reaction to the Trump Administration 

Late last year, at our annual STATE OF ASIA conference, we hosted a conversation on the economic developments in Japan, China, and India.After decades of stagnation, Japan's economy is showing optimism from structural shifts like labor market reforms and wage increases that are finally starting to pay off.In China, growth has peaked and the government is yet to succeed in convincing its population it's okay to spend money.All the while, India is now the fastest-growing developing economy and scrambling to shed its protectionist past in order to create a lot more much-needed jobs.This, and much more, was discussed in three 12-minute conversations by:Garima Mohan, Senior Fellow in the Indo-Pacific program at the German Marshall Fund of the United StatesAlicia García Herrero, Chief Economist Asia Pacific at NatixisYumiko Murakami, General Partner at MPower Partners Fund, L.P.More information on the conference, the speakers, plus videos and summaries, are available on our website.This episode is from Asia Society Switzerland's STATE OF ASIA podcast, bringing you exclusive, engaging conversations with leading minds on issues that shape Asia and affect us all.

India and Indonesia, the juggernaut democracies of South and Southeast Asia, both ended 2024 with new governments that hold new ambitions. How will this pan out in the year to come?  We talked about this with Dewi Fortuna Anwar, one of Indonesia's foremost foreign policy experts; and Garima Mohan, Senior Fellow in the Indo-Pacific Program at the German Marshall Fund. The conversation is moderated by James Crabtree, 2024 TOY Senior Fellow at Asia Society Switzerland, and was recorded at the third edition of our STATE OF ASIA conference, held last November in Zurich.More information on the conference, the speakers, plus videos and summaries, are available on our website.

RE-RELEASE: This episode was originally released in April 2024. The TikTok ban took effect late Saturday night, but may be revoked by President-elect Trump.This week, A'ndre is joined by Lindsay Gorman, the Managing Director & Senior Fellow at the German Marshall Fund's GMF Tech, to delve into the controversies surrounding TikTok and its implications for national security. Lindsay sheds light on ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, and discusses the concerns surrounding its data storage practices. A'ndre and Lindsay explore the concept of data sovereignty and discuss whether China can access ByteDance's data at will, and why it's different from how the U.S. Government engages with U.S.-based social media companies. Lindsay outlines the types of user data TikTok gathers, and touches upon how China can exploit this collected data. The conversation extends to China's history of leveraging social media platforms for targeting dissenters and the workings of TikTok's algorithms in content recommendation -- particularly with regards to misinformation and polarization. Lindsay offers insights into the likelihood of a TikTok divestiture (and why it's not a ban), legal challenges it might face, and the possibility of a U.S.-based firm acquiring TikTok. The discussion concludes with an examination of China's reaction to the scrutiny, and what Lindsay sees as the biggest myths surrounding TikTok.CORRECTION: A'ndre referenced a dispute between the FBI and Apple, incorrectly attributing it to the Boston Bombing investigation, when in actuality it was the 2015 San Bernardino Terror Attack

Avid reader, global investor and German Marshall Fund chair Chris Schroeder, who devoured around 150 books in 2024, engages in a spirited New Year discussion about literacy, geopolitics, and the power of deep reading. Despite hand-wringing about America's reading decline, Schroeder remains optimistic about young entrepreneurs' intellectual curiosity, particularly in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Discussing his favorite 2024 reads, including Annie Jacobsen's chilling nuclear war scenarios and Oscar Jonsson's analysis of Russian military thinking, Schroeder illuminates how books offer a dramatically richer understanding of the contemporary world's complexity than social media's soundbites. Pivoting to China's rising influence, the Washington DC based Schroeder notes how Chinese businesses are outcompeting Western rivals through superior service and pricing. His key message: America must focus on competitiveness rather than containment in an increasingly multipolar world swimming in what he calls "an ocean of black swans."As the co-founder of VC partnership Next Billion Ventures, Chris Schroeder invests in tech startups in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The latter is an ecosystem he knows well, having dedicated a year of his life to exploring it when writing the book Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East. Schroeder, who is also a startup advisor, knows the role of CEO inside out, having occupied it three times over. Schroeder started his career working for the U.S. government, before making the switch to a business development role at The Washington Post in 2000, where he would become CEO and publisher three years later. Schroeder has also served as the CEO of business-to-business data, analysis, and news provider Legi-Slate, and health and wellness platform HealthCentral, which he co-founded, grew to over 15 million unique monthly users and then sold in 2011.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

So what's it to be in the Middle East in 2025: Mad Max style anarchy or a "Pax Hebraica" orchestrated from Israel? According to regional expert Soli Ozel, the Mad Max scenario is more likely - although, as he notes, many of us oversimplify the contemporary Middle East into false binaries such as the Sunni vs Shiite conflict or Iran vs the Arab world. That said, Ozel warns, the mostly cataclysmic 2024 history of the the region doesn't bode well for 2025. Especially given America's central role in Middle East and its unwillingness to confront the region's central tragedy - the problem of Palestine. Soli Özel is professor of International Relations at Kadir Has University in Istanbul, a fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy, a senior fellow at the Institut Montaigne as a senior fellow and a columnist for the Turkish daily Habertürk. Since 2002, Soli Özel has also contributed to Project Syndicate on different occasions, commenting on Turkish politics. He served on the board of directors of International Alert and is currently a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations. He was also an advisor to the Chairman the Turkish Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association (TÜSIAD) on foreign policy issues. He has guest lectured at Harvard, Tufts, and other US universities and has taught at UC Santa Cruz, John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), the University of Washington, Northwestern University, the Hebrew University, Boğaziçi University and Bilgi University (Istanbul). He also spent time as a fellow of St. Anthony's College, Oxford and was a visiting senior scholar at the EU Institute for Security Studies in Paris. He was a Fisher Family Fellow of the “Future of Diplomacy Program” at the Belfer Center of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. In 2013, he was a Keyman fellow and a visiting lecturer at Northwestern University. Soli Özel regularly contributes to the German Marshall Fund's web site's “ON Turkey” series. His work has been printed in different publications in Turkey and abroad, including The International Spectator, Internationale Politik and the Journal of Democracy.

All over Europe and in the corridors of Nato policy makers are discussing the implications for the continent of the Trump victory in the American presidential election. For 70 years the alliance with the USA has been the foundation stone of European defence. During his last term in office, it was reported that Trump wanted to take the US out of Nato. That didn't happen but he made clear his discontent at the lack of defence spending among member states. Can that alliance can be maintained, if so on what terms and if not, what then?
