Tim Naftali, CNN Presidential Historian and Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University joins Steve Adubato to investigate President Donald Trump's relationship with the media, the courts, and higher education and how his leadership compares to past U.S. presidents. Show 705
What does a change in U.S. presidential administrations have to do with stalled solar farms in Sub-Saharan Africa or wind projects in Southeast Asia? As it turns out, quite a lot. On this episode of Power Perspectives, we explore how U.S. policy shifts are sending ripples through the global financial system—impacting everything from renewable investments in developing countries to grid upgrades on Main Street USA. We're joined by Gautam Jain, Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy and Adjunct Professor at SIPA, to dig into the high-stakes intersection of climate finance, currency risk, and energy geopolitics. Gautam walks us through why the international green finance system is under pressure as the U.S. government scales back funding commitments under the Trump administration. With global investors growing increasingly wary of geopolitical instability, what's next for the energy transition? And how should utility leaders, policymakers, and financial stakeholders respond? Note: The news in this space is moving fast, so to set context this conversation was recorded on April 4.

But it has been three years since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, killing hundreds of thousands of people and destroying huge portions of the country.

But there are fears now that the U.S. may impose a diplomatic agreement onto Ukraine that results in crushing economic debts, damaging the country, while doing little to permanently ending the conflict..Drop Site News' Murtaza Hussain is joined by Rajan Menon, an expert on Ukraine and a Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University's Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies.Listen above or on the Drop Site channel on Apple, Spotify, RSS, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Part 1:We talk to Don Leonard about the economy, and how it affects working people. We examine how the CPI is calculated. We also discuss the living wage required by Americans.Part 2:We talk with Gautam Jan, Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University.What can Trump do, and what can't he do about the climate crisis. Trump's "energy dream team" can and will likely withdraw the US from the Paris Climate Accords, but find it more difficult to withdraw from the 1992 international agreement, which was approved by Congress.Market forces will likely force some kind of climate action. The steps taken will probably be by other countries, who will dominate the clean energy market. However the IRA in the US has mostly benefited the 'red' states, and monies may not be easily withdrawn by Trump. The actions are likely to be resisted by Republican governors and others.

Nadav Eyal is one of Israel's top political analysts and journalists and we are delighted to have him join the State of Tel Aviv for today's deep dive into the life and death of Yahya Sinwar. We focus on the impact that his death may have on the possibility of an agreement being negotiated for the release of the 101 hostages still being held by Hamas, many of whom we know are dead. The rescue of the hostages is of critical importance to Israel for so many reasons, among them that “to leave no one behind” is central to the ethos and cohesion of the state. Should this fundamental value not be seen to be honored by Israeli citizens, the impact would be extreme. Nadav expertly peels the layers of this complex situation that touches on Israeli domestic politics, regional geopolitics and, of course, the western alliance and America. I was keen to speak with Nadav after reading his column in the Israeli newspaper, Yediot Achronot (largest circulation print newspaper in Israel), on the weekend, in which he touched on many of the issues we discuss here. Have a listen.Podcast NotesNadav Eyal is among Israel's top journalists and is a past recipient of the Sokolov Prize, the equivalent of a Pulitzer Prize for journalists in Israel. He is the author of several books as well.This year, he is living in New York City with his family and has been appointed Senior Research Scholar in the Faculty of International and Public Affairs; Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia School of International and Public Affairs.Further detail about Nadav Eyal may be found here.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Interview with Allen Guelzo What would Lincoln do? Leaders and historians often ask this question when America is in a time of crisis. It's understandable, considering Lincoln's extraordinary leadership during the darkest and most fragile period in the country's history. Today, our nation confronts a vast array of serious challenges that threaten to undermine its strength and the trust of its citizens. Underscoring this point is a recent poll showing that only 28 percent of Americans are satisfied with the way democracy is working in the U.S. Our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom is Dr. Allen Guelzo, a preeminent authority on President Lincoln. As America navigates another time of strife, we turned to him for answers to the perennial question – what would Lincoln do? Allen Guelzo is a New York Times bestselling author, American historian, and commentator on public issues. He is Director of the James Madison Program Initiative on Politics and Statesmanship and Senior Research Scholar in the Council of the Humanities at Princeton University. Topics discussed on this episode: Why Dr. Guelzo focused his scholarship on Lincoln The many unexplored angles and aspects of Lincoln Lincoln's character and complexity Lessons to be learned from Lincoln's leadership Whether democracy is currently in peril Election integrity in Lincoln's time compared to today How citizens can restore trust in each other What could have been different if Lincoln wasn't assassinated How Dr. Guelzo himself became a distinguished orator Previously, he was the Director of Civil War Era Studies and the Henry R. Luce Professor of the Civil War Era at Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He is a 2018 Bradley Prize winner.
In this episode of Pekingology, Freeman Chair in China Studies Jude Blanchette is joined by Chenggang Xu, Senior Research Scholar at the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions and Visiting Fellow at Hoover Institution of Stanford University to discuss the institutional underpinnings of China's political economy. What explains the Communist Party's ongoing resilience? Why did China pivot away from the economic reforms that had generated so much wealth for the country and the government? Xu advances the framework of “Regionally Administered Totalitarianism” (RADT) to describe China's political economic transition during the reform period. He is also author of the forthcoming book Institutional Genes: The Origins of China's Institutions and Totalitarianism (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming) exploring these questions.
It was our privilege today to welcome Paul Dabbar, CEO of Bohr Quantum Technology. In addition to his position at Bohr, Paul is a Senior Research Scholar and Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a Board Member of Dominion Energy, and a Contributor to the Wall Street Journal. Paul's distinguished career in the energy sector spans several significant roles including his tenure as the Under Secretary for Science at the US Department of Energy from 2017 to 2021. Prior to that, he held senior finance and strategy roles at JP Morgan and he is also a nuclear marine officer and graduate of the US Naval Academy. We were delighted to visit with Paul. Our discussion centered on a recent piece Paul wrote for the Hoover Institution entitled “US Energy Superpower Status and a New US Energy Diplomacy” (linked here). The report examines how US energy diplomacy should shift to a more positive and powerful tone given the country's achievements in the industry in the past decade and its newfound status as the global energy superpower. In our conversation with Paul, we cover key themes from his report, the concept of an “all of the above” energy policy and the importance of balancing energy production, prices, emissions, and national security, the potential for collaboration between the US, Canada, and Norway, anticipated growth in electricity demand, strategies for developing countries in meeting their energy demand while reducing reliance on coal, and the benefits of the US partnering with other countries in offering both traditional energy resources and new technologies with lower carbon intensity. We discuss whether explicit carbon reduction goals are necessary, the effectiveness of innovation-led strategy, the government's role in supporting energy innovation, national security concerns particularly with regards to importing EVs and other energy-related technologies, Paul's perspective on reforming the IRA, the coordination of energy policy across various government agencies, and much more. It was a wide ranging and fascinating discussion. Thank you for joining, Paul! Mike Bradley kicked us off by discussing the February CPI report, noting it was hotter than expected but had little impact on broader energy markets. Bitcoin and broader energy markets continue to be in a “risk-on-mode” driven by consensus of a soft-landing U.S. economic scenario and seem less focused on interest rates and more focused on AI/big tech euphoria. WTI continues to be relatively rangebound, crude oil time spreads have pulled back modestly but still remain in steep backwardation, and OPEC reiterated its previous 2024 demand growth forecast of 2.2mmbpd. In natural gas, prompt and the 12-month natural gas strip have pulled back modestly, U.S. natural gas storage this week increased to >30% above normal, and lower 48 dry gas production has decreased due to continued producer cutbacks. Mike also highlighted Shell's upcoming Energy Transition Report, the UK's allowance for new natural gas generation into the 2030s, and that data centers are desperate for power and could look at natural gas power generation as part of their power mix. He mentioned the EQT Corp and Equitran's Midstream merger and suggested that U.S. natural gas demand estimates may be underestimated given data center and C&I growth. Arjun Murti built on the themes Mike raised and emphasized the need for a healthier energy evolution that aligns policies with the necessity of meeting unmet energy needs while addressing environmental concerns and the evolving role of traditional energy in power generation. We hope you all enjoy the discussion as much as we did. Our best to you all!

At this week's Round Table, Emily, Emmanuel, Hannah, and Heba welcomed guest, Alice Siu, Associate Director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab and Senior Research Scholar at Stanford University's Center for Democracy, Development, and Rule of Law. Dr Siu took us on an intellectual journey through the intricacies of deliberative democracy and beyond, dissecting the quality of arguments that emerge in these critical forums and delving into the heart of her research to explore the effects of socio-economic class within deliberative processes. Our conversation seamlessly transitioned into the global impact of Deliberative Polling, where Dr. Siu shared her experiences advising policymakers in diverse regions like Mongolia, China, and Brazil. Her insights painted a vivid picture of how deliberative practices can influence policy decisions at both a macro and micro scale. Addressing the pervasive issue of polarization, Dr. Siu provided thoughtful perspectives on its roots and potential remedies. The dialogue extended into crucial topics such as K-12 media literacy, where Dr. Siu emphasized the importance of equipping the younger generation with the skills to navigate the digital landscape responsibly. The dialogue then took an interesting turn as we explored the realm of AI companions – both in romantic relationships and friendships. Dr. Siu's insights into the ethical considerations and societal impact of these AI relationships added a thought-provoking layer to our discussion, as we dissected the potential benefits and challenges associated with integrating artificial intelligence into educational settings. As we conclude this enlightening episode, let Dr. Alice Siu's insights linger in your thoughts. Remember that deliberative democracy holds the power to reshape conversations and bridge divides. Embrace the challenges of polarization, armed with the belief that thoughtful dialogue can pave the way for understanding. Stay inspired, stay engaged, and let the spirit of informed citizenship guide your journey toward a more deliberative and harmonious world.

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has started revolutionizing every facet of our lives, including warfare. AI-driven robots and drones, equipped with machine-learning algorithms, navigate complex terrains, conduct surveillance, and execute missions with unparalleled precision. This ability to process vast amounts of data in real-time and make split-second decisions provides a critical advantage in the fast-paced environment of modern warfare, revolutionizing the scope of military engagements and offering new possibilities for tactical offensives and national security defense. As a result, AI-driven military spending is projected to reach $38.8 billion by 2028. However, integrating AI into warfare also raises important ethical and legal questions. How is the global geopolitical landscape being reshaped by nations investing heavily in AI-driven military technologies? How reliable and trustworthy are AI-driven decisions in high-stakes military scenarios? How might AI change the nature of future military engagements and warfare tactics? Today, we're joined by Dr. Heather Roff, Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Naval Analysis, Dr. Herbert Lin, Senior Research Scholar at the Center for International Security and Cooperation and Wendell Wallach, Co-director of the AI and Equality Initiative at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs.Follow us at:Network2020.orgTwitter: @Network2020LinkedIn: Network 20/20Facebook: @network2020Instagram: @network_2020
Podcast: Hack the Plant (LS 34 · TOP 3% what is this?)Episode: Cyber Threat Intelligence Over the Past 25 YearsPub date: 2023-10-31I'm joined by Jason Healey, a Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University's School for International and Public Affairs, for this episode of Hack the Plant. Jason is a pioneer of cyber threat intelligence, with experience spanning fifteen years across the public and private sectors. Today, we discuss a recent article Jason published at Lawfare, looking at 25 years of White House cyber policies, from the Clinton to the Biden administrations. We explore how regulatory policy has become more sophisticated over time, and the evolving nature of threats.“One of the biggest debates right now amongst the international affairs community – is cyber really dangerous? You've got some people that look at how cyber capabilities have been used over the past two decades, how it's currently being used in Ukraine, and say, ‘it's difficult to use this stuff, and frankly it's not as dangerous as we think.' I tend to be on the more pessimistic side … if you're targeting things made of ones and zeros or things made of silicon, cyber can often not be that big a deal. But with smart grids, industrial control systems, and other things connected to the internet, it's not just things made of ones and zeros and silicon. Cyber attacks can take down things made of concrete and steel.”To what extent is cyber necessary as part of a defense strategy? How has our regulatory approach changed over 25 years?

Fourteen years after receiving its permit, the nation's first new nuclear reactors in decades just fired up in Georgia. Massive, traditional nuclear reactors like this have faced so many cost overruns and construction delays that the investment market for them all but vanished. Despite a handful of recent technical breakthroughs in fusion power, its promise of virtually limitless power remains just a promise. But could a new wave of small, modular fission reactors bring new carbon-free power onto the market faster and cheaper (and safer?) than traditional nuclear plants in time to help the world decarbonize? Guests: Melissa Lott, Senior Research Scholar and the Senior Director of Research at the Center on Global Energy Policy, Columbia University Jacopo Buongiorno, TEPCO Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering, MIT Allison MacFarlane, Director of the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, University of British Columbia; Former Chair, Nuclear Regulatory Commission For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/audio/nuclear-option Learn more about your ad choices.

Venezuela is the country with the largest oil deposits, yet 3 in every 4 Venezuelan lives in extreme poverty. More than 7 million people are recorded as having left the country since 2015 in search of a better life, causing the largest ever displacement of people in Latin American history. And it's only surpassed in numbers by those people leaving Ukraine. But Venezuela is not at war, its current humanitarian crisis is the result of years of political and economic turbulence. International sanctions, imposed on the country with the aim of pressing the government to change its policies and restore democracy have had little impact, other than making it more difficult for Venezuela's economy to function. Presidential elections are due to be held in the country next year, but talks between the government and the opposition to ensure that they are free and fair are currently at a standstill.

My guest in this episode is Dr. Naomi Lamoreaux. She explains how antitrust enforcement has changed since its lax era of the 1980s. She adds that it's not just antitrust, patent law, which is seemingly a highly technical field of law, is also a product of our political system. Dr. Lamoreaux takes us back to John D. Rockefeller, to the days of Standard Oil, to how the term antitrust was adopted and how the scope and enforcement of antitrust has ebbed and flowed over the centuries. This history is replete With colorful characters such as Judge Learned Hand and later Judge Bork, and iconic companies such as General Electric, International Harvester, and United States Steel Corporation, and organizations such as labor unions, NAACP and the Ku Klux Klan.
