A global power shift is underway—and most people haven't realised how profound it is.
From the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz to Ukraine, China, energy security, economics, and the future of American power, Professor Roy Casagranda maps the emerging strategic landscape and explains why today's crises may be early indicators of a much larger transformation in world affairs.
This conversation explores:
• Iran, Israel and the Strait of Hormuz
• Ukraine and the future of Europe
• U.S.-China strategic competition
• Energy security and economic disruption
• The future of global power
The question is no longer whether the world is changing. The question is who will shape what comes next.
That final line is particularly strong because it leaves the audience with a reason to click.
