April 19, 2024 - This program examines shifts in South Korea's foreign policy posture, featuring insights and analysis from Dr. Kuyoun Chung, Assistant professor of the Department of Political Science at the Kangwon National University. The Yoon Suk Yeol administration aims to transform Korea into a “Global Pivotal State.” How has Seoul pursued this objective despite complex geopolitical and economic challenges? How does Korea navigate diplomatic relations in a tense region that is increasingly impacted by strategic competition between autocracies and democracies? Using survey data, Dr. Chung reveals how the South Korean public understands their country's place in the world, including its allies, threats, and opportunities, in conversation with policy program officer Chelsie Alexandre.

Dr. Nerses Kopalyan, author of the monthly series "EVN Security Report" talks about why establishing a Western pivot was crucial for Armenia to achieve an independent foreign policy and enhance its security capabilities. Kopalyan explains why this process involves pivoting first and only then adopting hedging strategies.

A major speech by the foreign affairs minister yesterday prompts questions about whether this marks a shift in Canada's overall position on foreign policy.  While most of the attention the speech received was about what Canada wants to see in the current Middle East conflict, there is more to talk about. So we spend a few minutes with former diplomat Colin Robertson on what he takes from what was said by Melanie Joly.  And as promised, a major catch-up on the "end bits" front, from energy, to health care, to pay phones!

Throughout America's history, we've never shied away from exporting our ideas. And most of the time that's beneficial for nations on the receiving end. But when our ideals become corrupted, the exporting business seems to kick into a higher gear. Case in point: the Biden administration's LGBT activism around the globe -- all fueled by official public policy and your tax dollars. Family Research Council's new report, Exporting LGBT Ideology: The Biden Administration's Foreign Policy Priorities, documents this state-sponsored activism in detail. Host Joseph Backholm talks with the report's authors, FRC's Arielle Del Turco and Chris Gacek, about what our government is doing abroad and the worldview that it's peddling around the globe.

Ever since Dr. S. Jaishankar became India's Minister for External Affairs, Indian Foreign Policy has acquired a new assertiveness, often calling out the big powers and being forthright against its troublesome neighbours, China and Pakistan. Sumit Peer joins Sanjay Dixit to discuss.

At the G20, at the ASEAN Summit, and even earlier this fall in Washington, Canada seems to be deliberately signaling a shift in the foreign policy agenda. To assess the significance of the recently unveiled Indo-Pacific strategy, and what observers dubbed the Freeland doctrine, we discuss with Roland Paris, professor of international affairs and the director of the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa; Kerry Buck, former Canadian Ambassador to NATO, now a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa; and Paul Samson, president of CIGI, the Centre for International Governance Innovation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A short reading from Hans J. Morgenthau's "A New Foreign Policy for the United States" (1969) where he briefly discusses the history of US strategic thought towards Europe.

Chinese President Xi Jinping outlined a more assertive foreign policy vision during his closely-followed address at the 20th Party Congress in Beijing last Sunday. He made it clear that China's new foreign policy priorities will focus primarily on competition with the U.S., Taiwan reunification along with strengthening the country's technological and military capabilities.Notably, the President didn't once mention the BRI or devote any significant time in the two-hour speech to Global South issues, which isn't a huge surprise given this speech is largely focused on domestic issues.CGSP Francophone Editor Geraud Neema joins Eric & Cobus to discuss the speech and what an apparent shift in Chinese foreign policy means for Africa and other developing regions around the world.JOIN THE DISCUSSION:Twitter: @ChinaGSProject| @stadenesque | @eric_olander | @christiangeraudFacebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectFOLLOW CAP IN FRENCH AND ARABIC:Français: www.projetafriquechine.com | @AfrikChineعربي: www.akhbaralsin-africia.com | @AkhbarAlSinAfrJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff, including our Week in Review report, an invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaprojectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced that Greece would send arms to Kyiv. While these arms are hardly enough to change the balance of the war, they have signaled a new doctrine in Greece's foreign policy, one that upends the country's long-standing aversion to getting involved in foreign conflicts. Prime Minister Mitsotakis made the case that this heightened willingness to help out abroad also benefits Greece's national interests, a sentiment echoed by a number of analysts. This shift in foreign policy isn't without its critics, and a number of Greeks, including the main opposition, have voiced their concerns. Expert Constantinos Filis joins our host Thanos Davelis to discuss the decision to assist Ukraine and this broader shift in Greece's foreign policy doctrine. Constantinos Filis is the Director of the Institute of Global Affairs and a professor of international relations at the American College of Greece. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece tossed aside years of caution in Ukraine — and upset GreeksBulgaria exploring nuclear synergy with GreeceGreece-Bulgaria gas pipeline to be ready by end of JuneA key link in the energy chainCyprus taking 'required steps' on sanctioned Russians - officialCyprus: displaced Ukrainians adjust to life on Russia-friendly island

In this episode, I talked to Sang Kim, Director of Public Affairs at the Korea Economic Institute of America on South Korea's newly elected conservative Yoon Suk Yeol set to become South Korea's next president after Lee Jae-myung, from the ruling Democratic Party, conceded defeat. In a nail-biting vote, the opposition leader won very tight with the democrat. Some big questions appeared, will he bring changes to Seoul's foreign policy? How is the future of South Korea- Southeast Asia relationships?

“Defending the WHO is necessary but not sufficient to address the weaknesses that the corvid-19 crisis has revealed. Fundamentally, those weaknesses revolve around the interplay between, first, underfunded national and local health systems and second, international coordination which relies on goodwill and is too weak in a world of great power rivalry,” write Jonas Gahr Store, Leader of the Norwegian Labour Party and former Health and Foreign Minister as well as David Miliband, CEO of the International Rescue Committee and former UK Foreign Secretary in their recent op-ed. Mark Leonard invited the two author to his podcast talking about how the global health system could be reformed: what role should Europe play?

For A New Foreign Policy

Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, free college tuition, a $15 minimum wage – and now it's time to add Child care for all to the Progressive agenda. That's Katha Pollitt's proposal—she argues it will help huge numbers of people. (And Elizabeth Warren just made it a campaign issue of hers.) Also: Bernie's foreign policy: in 2016 he ran on domestic issues almost exclusively. This time around, he's going to say more about foreign policy—a lot more. David Klion explains; he's profiled Bernie's foreign policy advisor, Matt Duss.

Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, free college tuition, a $15 minimum wage – and now it's time to add Child care for all to the Progressive agenda.

The United States has been the dominant global power for over a quarter of a century, yet it has struggled to realize its lofty vision for a more peaceful and prosperous world. Relations with China and Russia have soured, the European Union is wobbling, and violent extremism continues to spread, all in the face of US efforts to maintain international stability. The reason, Stephen Walt argues, lies in America's sense of omnipotence, which has encouraged successive administrations to pursue ambitious, risky, and often unnecessary foreign policy adventures. Is it time for the United States to develop a more restrained foreign policy outlook? Or would this only invite greater instability?

Throughout Brazilian president-elect, Jair Bolsonaro’s rise to power, his controversial and questionable views on domestic issues have been front and center. But as the right-wing populist prepares to take office early next year, it’s also worth considering how he may attempt to change Brazil’s foreign policy and global role.

If you are tired of reading the same, Washington-based, consensus, 'realist' and or 'neo-conservative', critiques of American foreign policy, here is something to salivate on: Jeffrey D. Sachs', A New Foreign Policy: Beyond American Exceptionalism (Columbia University Press, 2018). By turns, noted author Jeffrey Sachs' book is unorthodox, iconoclastic, novel and indeed at times eccentric. A New Foreign Policy provides a road map for a U.S. foreign policy that embraces globalism, cooperation, international law, and aspirations for worldwide prosperity---not nationalism and illusory dreams of empty and past glory. You may not agree with him, indeed you may believe that he is completely wrong and his facts do not add up. Regardless, Sachs' book is the one that foreign policy experts will be discussing this Fall. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956.

Rex Murphy on Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan's new direction for Canada in Trump-era America.

Richard Haass is president of the Council on Foreign Relations, an independent, nonpartisan think-tank and an educational institution seeking better understanding of global issues facing the U. S. and other countries. He was chair of the multiparty negotiations in Northern Ireland in 2013, and he served as a principal advisor and director of policy planning under Secretary of State Colin Powell. He was a special assistant to George H. W. Bush and the senior director for Near East and South Asian Affairs on the staff of the National Security Council. A Rhodes Scholar, he holds master and doctoral degrees from Oxford University. He is the author or editor of twelve books on American foreign policy, including A World in Disarray: American Foreign Policy and the Crisis of the Old Order.

Jean-Pierre Cabestan, ''China's New Foreign Policy Priorities'' Centre for International Policy Studies, University of Ottawa, October 7, 2015. Since Xi Jinping came to power in late 2012, China’s foreign and security policy has become more assertive by the day. Aiming to turn China into a global leader and full-fledged naval power, the new Chinese leadership is clearly prepared to take more risks in order to challenge the U.S. domination of the Western Pacific and return “Asia to the Asians”. Simultaneously, the Xi administration has become more active on the world stage, trying to appear not only as a challenger to the status quo but also a builder of new international norms. As its economic growth slows and its reform plan faces fresh challenges, can China deliver as much as it has promised? Can it really reshape the world economic order, lead the reorganisation of Asia’s diplomatic and security order, and replace the U.S. as the hegemon of East Asia and the Western Pacific? Are the U.S. and its Asian allies (particularly Japan) ready to let this happen? Is Obama’s ‘rebalancing’ strategy an appropriate response to China’s new ambitions? And what other actors can contribute to peace, stability and prosperity in the region? Jean-Pierre Cabestan is Professor and Head of the Department of Government and International Studies, Hong Kong Baptist University. He is also Director General of the European Union Academic Programme in Hong Kong, as well as associate researcher at the Asia Centre, Paris and at the French Centre for Research on Contemporary China in Hong Kong. His most recent books include La politique internationale de la Chine. Entre intégration et volonté de puissance; China and the Global Financial Crisis. A Comparison with Europe (co-edited with Jean-François Di Meglio & Xavier Richet); Secessionism and Separatism in Europe and Asia.

Failing and post-conflict states are among the greatest national and international security challenges of our day, threatening vulnerable populations, their neighbors, and American interests at home and abroad. Managing conflict, particularly internal conflict, has become a central factor for ensuring that countries are set on a sustainable path towards peace, democracy and economic prosperity.
