How to sustain an international system of cooperation in the midst of geopolitical struggle? Can the international economic and legal system survive today's fractured geopolitics? Democracies are facing a drawn-out contest with authoritarian states that is entangling much of public policy with global security issues. In Global Discord: Values and Power in a Fractured World Order (Princeton University Press, 2024), Paul Tucker lays out principles for a sustainable system of international cooperation, showing how democracies can deal with China and other illiberal states without sacrificing their deepest political values. Drawing on three decades as a central banker and regulator, Tucker applies these principles to the international monetary order, including the role of the U.S. dollar, trade and investment regimes, and the financial system. Combining history, economics, and political and legal philosophy, Tucker offers a new account of international relations. Rejecting intellectual traditions that go back to Hobbes, Kant, and Grotius, and deploying instead ideas from David Hume, Bernard Williams, and modern mechanism-design economists, Tucker describes a new kind of political realism that emphasizes power and interests without sidelining morality. Incentives must be aligned with values if institutions are to endure. The connecting tissue for a system of international cooperation, he writes, should be legitimacy, creating a world of concentric circles in which we cooperate more with those with whom we share the most and whom we fear the least. Paul Tucker is a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School and the author of Unelected Power (Princeton). He is a former central banker and regulator at the Bank of England, and a former director at Basel's Bank for International Settlements, where he chaired some of the groups designing reforms of the international financial system after the Global Financial Crisis.

Let's talk about women in sports—and not just the headline-makers or the occasional viral moment. We're talking about the Olympians, the Paralympians, and the elite athletes around the world who are changing the game… even if you've never heard their names. In this first (but definitely not last) episode on the topic, we're shining a spotlight on the stories that deserve more air time. Because representation in sports matters—and so does who's telling the story. Jamie Mittelman is our guest today, and she's made it her mission to elevate women athletes on a global stage. She's the founder and host of Flame Bearers, the first international media platform dedicated to women Olympians and Paralympians. With a background in media, a Master's from the Harvard Kennedy School, and experience managing a $30M portfolio for Yahoo, Jamie is using her superpowers to amplify diverse, overlooked voices in elite women's sports. Because every time we tell these stories, we challenge outdated norms, push representation forward, and create a ripple effect for the next generation of athletes. And if you've been sleeping on women's sports… consider this your wake-up call. As the saying goes: Everyone watches women's sports. And everyone should.

What does workplace fairness actually mean and how do we tackle unfairness in practical, evidence-based ways? In this episode, Helen speaks to Siri Chilazi, senior researcher at Harvard Kennedy School's Women and Public Policy Program and co-author of Make Work Fair: Data-Driven Design for Real Results, to get to the heart of how organisations can create truly fair environments where everyone has an equal chance to succeed to their full potential.Together, they discuss:  ⭐️ What “fairness at work” really means, using powerful metaphors and examples.  ⭐️ The everyday systems and processes that unintentionally create inequities like biased hiring, promotion gaps, and selective exposure to stretch assignments.  ⭐️ Why fairness benefits everyone, not just underrepresented groups.  ⭐️ Why traditional “add-on” DE&I programmes (like unconscious bias training) often fall short and how making fairness intrinsic to day-to-day processes is far more effective.⭐️ Practical, scientific strategies: using data and behavioural science to identify, track, and tackle hidden inequalities.⭐️ Real-world examples of simple but powerful organisational experiments from standardising interviews to tweaking feedback emails that have measurable impact.⭐️ What leaders at all levels (not just the C-suite) can do to drive fairness in their own team even if it's just changing the pictures on the wall!⭐️ How to set targets and measure progress on fairness (and why that clarity matters).Siri shares personal stories from her own career and highlights from her research, showing how everyone can be an agent for fairer work, no matter your role or seniority. Helen and Siri offer concrete advice and actionable examples for leaders and individuals keen to swap tokenistic programmes for meaningful, systemic change.Tune in for a lively, myth-busting conversation that will leave you rethinking how to embed fairness practically and sustainably into the heart of your organisation.About Siri Chilazi  Siri Chilazi is a senior researcher at the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School and an internationally recognised expert in advancing women and promoting gender equity in organisations.

Ostensibly to quell anti-ICE protests, President Trump this week mobilized 700 Marines and another 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles. That's on top of the 2,000 troops he sent over the weekend. The Atlantic's David Graham calls the deployment a “gesture of authoritarianism.” We'll talk to Graham and former Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary Juliette Kayyem about Trump's intensifying efforts to assert executive power, the strategies at play and what the implications could be for our democracy.

Visit us at Network2020.org. Recent comments from President Trump targeting Canada, Greenland, and Panama have drawn renewed attention to a deeper global trend: the scramble for control over critical infrastructure. From the Panama Canal to Arctic shipping routes and mineral-rich territories, nations are positioning themselves to command the arteries of commerce and security. Infrastructure—whether canals, ports, or rare earth corridors—is increasingly about power, leverage, and access to the future economy than simply logistics. What does the infrastructure chessboard look like through the lens of geopolitics and how is it shifting? What are Washington's aims and how might other countries react? As nations compete to secure these pathways and resources, the question isn't just about who controls them, but how infrastructure control is remaking geopolitics.Join us for a discussion with Dr. Mary Bridges, an infrastructure expert and Ernest May Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School; Jonathan E. Hillman, Senior Fellow of Geoeconomics at the Council on Foreign Relations; and Dr. Evan Ellis, research professor of Latin American Studies at the U.S. Army War College. This conversation will provide key insights into the global competition for strategic infrastructure control. Music by Sergii Pavkin from Pixabay

Dems can't eat enough popcorn as John jokes about the huge fight between Musk and Trump. Each of them own and operate their own social media network, and today they used those networks to bitch and moan about each other in an epic clash of douchebags. Trump threatened to pull Musk's government contracts, Musk named Trump as part of the Epstein files and the sole reason for its delayed release. Then, he interviews John Della Volpe who is the Director of Polling at the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics, where he has led research initiatives on American youth since 2000. His work focuses on understanding the attitudes, values, and behaviors of young Americans and their impact on politics and public life. A contributor to NBC, MSNBC, and The New York Times, John is the author of the critically acclaimed book Fight: How Gen Z is Channeling Their Fear and Passion to Save America. He has launched the Speaking with American Men (SAM) Project, a first-of-its-kind initiative to re-engage young men who feel increasingly alienated from civic life and abandoned by civic institutions. It was borne from post-2024 election data showing a dramatic 12-point shift, from 2020, to Republicans among young men (18-29) and a clear warning that too many feel unheard, unrepresented, and culturally dismissed.The launch includes the release of an urgent new report titled Young Men in America Today: New Research on Their Opinions, Media, Challenges, and How Progressives Can Win them Back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join me for an engaging conversation with Siri Chilazi, a senior researcher at the Women in Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School, as we explore the crucial topic of fairness in the workplace. Together, we discuss the thoughtful process behind the title of her bestselling book, Make Work Fair, which emphasizes actionable steps to align workplace dynamics with fairness. Siri's expertise as a behavioral scientist provides valuable insights into how organizations can align their practices with their values and aspirations, ensuring inclusivity and equality. Having had the privilege to meet Siri in person at a CEO Mastermind event I recently hosted at Harvard University, I can attest to the powerful impact of her insights on an audience.We unravel the complexities of meritocracy and fairness, diving into real-world examples where biases permeate hiring practices. Through audit studies, we uncover the disturbing reality that meritocracy often remains an ideal rather than a lived reality. Our conversation challenges these discrepancies, emphasizing the importance of clear dialogue and thoughtful intervention. We explore how small, behaviorally designed interventions, like a short video in a global firm, can significantly improve female and international representation, showcasing the power of targeted efforts in creating equitable opportunities.This episode also touches on the strategic use of data to evaluate and address biases in hiring, urging a culture of curiosity and continuous improvement. We emphasize the collective responsibility for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and the need to recalibrate efforts to avoid unintended consequences. Discover how by harnessing diverse talents and perspectives, we can build inclusive workplace cultures where everyone feels they belong and can thrive.What You'll Learn- The myths of meritocracy and the real biases affecting hiring practices.- Innovative, behaviourally-designed interventions for fostering inclusivity.- How grassroots initiatives can drive system-level change.- The critical role of data in evaluating biases and the importance of continuous improvement.- The need to recalibrate DEI efforts to avoid unintended consequencesPodcast Timestamps(00:00) - Make Work Fair: More Than A Title(15:27) - Fairness in Workplace Practices(30:06) - Meritocracy and Fairness in Organizations(38:45) - Igniting Change Through Bottom-Up Approaches(46:07) - Building Inclusive Workplace Cultures With DataKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Focus on Fairness, Make Work Fair, Inclusive Environments, Meritocracy, Overcoming Biases, Improving Hiring Practices, Audit Studies, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Grassroots Initiatives, Driving Positive Organizational Change, Leveraging Data, Unintended Consequences, Data-Driven Decisions, CEO Success

It has become a trope to lament and lambast the wishful thinking that shaped U.S. policy toward China in the two decades after the Cold War. That policy rested on a prediction about China's future: that with economic growth and ongoing diplomatic, economic, and cultural engagement—with the United States and the rest of the world—China would become more like the United States—more politically open at home and more accepting of the existing order abroad. It is hard to deny that this prediction proved wrong. But Rana Mitter, the S.T. Lee Chair in U.S.-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School and one of the great historians of China, reminds readers that predictions about China almost always prove wrong. And as he writes in a new essay in Foreign Affairs, it would be equally foolish to assume that China must remain on its current trajectory of more confrontation abroad and repression at home. “Another China remains possible,” Mitter argues. And how that China develops will be one of the most important factors in geopolitics for decades to come.

Christiane Amanpour is chief international anchor of CNN's flagship global affairs program “Amanpour,” which airs weekdays on CNN International and nightly on PBS in the United States. She is also host of “The Amanpour Hour,” and is based in the network's London bureau. Beginning in 1983 as an entry-level assistant on the international assignment desk at CNN's headquarters in Atlanta, Amanpour rose through the organization becoming a reporter at the New York bureau, and later, the network's leading international correspondent. On the ground during the siege of Sarajevo, Amanpour exposed the brutality of the Bosnian War, reporting on the daily tragedy of life for civilians in the city. She was outspoken, calling out the human rights abuses, massacres and genocide committed against the Bosnian Moslems, later saying “There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice.” Throughout her time at CNN, Amanpour has secured exclusive interviews with global power players. In the wake of the September 11 attacks she was the first international correspondent to interview British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. During the height of the Arab Spring she conducted an Emmy-winning interview with Libya's former leader ‘Colonel' Moammar Gadhafi, and she was also the last journalist to interview Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak just before he was deposed. In January 2014, Amanpour also exclusively broke the news of a dossier of testimony and photographs which alleged to show systematic torture of prisoners by government forces in Syria, evidence she used to confront Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev about his government's support for the Assad regime. In addition to her work as an anchor and reporter, Amanpour is an active rights campaigner. A board member of the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Centre for Public Integrity and the International Women's Media Foundation, she has used her profile to raise awareness of key global issues and journalists' rights. She has interviewed educational rights activist Malala Yousafzai for CNN on several occasions – bringing focus to her courage and international advocacy work. Amanpour has earned 16 News and Documentary Emmy Awards, four Peabody Awards, two George Polk Awards, three duPont-Columbia Awards and the IWMF's Courage in Journalism Award. She has received nine honorary degrees, is an honorary citizen of Sarajevo, and a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Freedom of the Press and the Safety of Journalists.

This event is part of our ⁠Age of the Strongman⁠ series. ⁠Click here⁠ to see the other events in the series. President Xi Jinping has ruled China for more than a decade. He has overseen an era of unprecedented economic prosperity, cracked down on dissidents, reinvented national identity in his own image and adopted a confrontational ‘wolf warrior' style of diplomacy on the world stage. Xi has also abolished term limits as President of the Communist Party and it's possible that he will remain China's all-powerful leader for the rest of his life. So what motivates the leader of the world's most populous nation? What is his vision for China and the world? How much should the West push back and how much should it cooperate with Xi? In May 2025, Rana Mitter, renowned historian at Harvard Kennedy School and previously the Director of The University of Oxford's China Centre, came to Intelligence Squared for the next event in our new series, The Age of the Strongman. Drawing on his work and recent book China's Good War: How World War II is Shaping a New Nationalism, Mitter examined the key tenets of Xi's political ideology, and how his cult of personality and military posturing in the Indo-Pacific will play out in 2025 and beyond.

Meanwhile, airstrikes continue, and Benjamin Netanyahu openly weighs the controversial possibility of a solo Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites—despite President Trump's evident reluctance. To unpack the chaos and complexity of Trump's Middle East strategy, Israel's options on Iran, and intriguing new revelations about President Biden's health, we're joined by Jake Sullivan, former National Security Advisor under President Biden.Jake Sullivan is an American foreign policy expert who served as National Security Advisor to President Joe Biden, becoming one of the youngest individuals ever to hold the position. Previously, he was a senior policy advisor during the Obama administration, playing a central role in negotiating the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Currently, Sullivan is the Kissinger Professor of Statecraft and World Order at Harvard Kennedy School, where he continues to influence conversations on diplomacy, international security, and global strategy.

During the presidential campaign, the Democratic Party warned that American democracy was under attack from Trump. Since the start of Trump two-point-0, his administration has deported pro-Palestine student protestors. He has barred Oval Office access to journalists who have used the phrase “Gulf of Mexico” rather than “Gulf of America”. And he has called for a judge blocking his orders to be impeached. With such anti-democratic forces ensconced in the White House, have US progressives failed? Have the far-right thrived because they are simply better at organising? And how can Americans come together to prevent the stripping away of their most basic rights?

Can joint Israeli-Palestinian health programs help build trust where politics have failed? According to a new paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the health care field can play a crucial role in building bridges between communities in conflict. Written by two Jewish Israeli and two Palestinian doctors during a period of temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the paper reviews 16 joint initiatives, highlighting in particular two programs: Road to Recovery and Physicians for Human Rights Israel. The authors also present recommendations on how cross-national health care programs can play a role in post-war peacebuilding. One of the paper's authors, Avner Halperin, a senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Middle East Initiative, spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal.

Finding child care is too often a maze of confusion and financial strain. Families struggle to secure a spot, navigate different options, and afford care – if they can find it at all. In this episode, we talk to Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University Jeff Liebman, to break down the root causes of the child care crisis, and we hear from listeners about the ripple effects all of this has on families nationwide. Then, we imagine what a better system could look like – one that works for all families, not just the lucky few. This series is created and produced with Neighborhood Villages, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming child care through innovative program-building and policy design.

What if the leadership edge you're looking for doesn't come from working harder, but listening deeper?   We talk often about productivity, performance, and pushing through. But few conversations explore the quieter forces shaping our best decisions, like intuition.   In this episode, I speak with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, a director, writer, systems thinker, and an award-winning sustainability leader, about intuition as a source of strength, clarity, and resilience in both leadership and life.   Hrund shares how her work in post-conflict Kosovo with the UN led to burnout and a full reset — one that turned her toward the science and practice of intuition. Through personal stories, research, and the Icelandic concept of innsæi (“the sea within”), she explains how we can train our intuition as rigorously as we train our intellect.   We explore: How to know whether your intuition is guiding you, or your ego is pulling you Why many of us lose touch with inner guidance (and how to return to it) How to use an “attention journal” to strengthen your discernment The difference between insight and overthinking What it takes to create workplace cultures that respect sensing as much as data Why intuition is not the opposite of reason, but essential to it This episode is for anyone navigating uncertainty, complexity, or the quiet knowing that something needs to change. Whether you're leading a team, facing a major decision, or simply looking to reconnect with your inner compass, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical tools to help you find your way — from the inside out. Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir is an Advisory Council member at Yale's International Leadership Centre and has been recognised for her work as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and Cultural Leader and Yale World Fellow. She has qualifications from Yale, Harvard Kennedy School, the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, Oxford Said Business School and the University of Iceland.   Get Hrund's book here: https://hrundgunnsteinsdottir.com/ InnSaei: Heal, Revive and Reset with the Icelandic art of intuition   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

As President Biden's national security advisor, Jake Sullivan laid out a strategy for what he called a “foreign policy for the middle class.” Using the metaphor of a small yard and a high fence, the Biden administration's approach focused on reshoring critical industries and manufacturing, supporting innovation, and protecting strategic technologies.  The strategy relied on industrial policy, tariffs and sanctions — some of the same economic tools the Trump administration is now using to launch a global trade war. The broad shift on both sides of the aisle to focused on national security, economic security, and supply chain resilience has enormous implications for the clean energy transition, from critical minerals and solar panels to batteries and EVs.  So how should we think about the relationship between economic resilience, energy security, and climate action? What lessons can we draw from the Biden administration's approach to countering China? And looking ahead, what should the U.S. prioritize when it comes to energy security? This week's episode features a fireside chat between Jason Bordoff and Jake Sullivan from the Columbia Global Energy Summit 2025, which was hosted by the Center on Global Energy Policy, at Columbia University SIPA earlier this month. Jake Sullivan recently became the Kissinger professor of the practice of statecraft and world order at the Harvard Kennedy School. He served as President Biden's national security advisor from 2021 to 2025. In the Obama administration, he was then Vice President Biden's national security advisor and deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Sean Marquand. Stephen Lacey is executive producer.
