How to Survive a Chaotic World

If the rules-based order is broken, what comes next? And who will lead it? Mark Leonard argues in his new book, Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics When the Rules Fail, that the coming system will be “un-order,” governed not by China or the United States but by no one at all. Are states responding quickly enough? Leonard, who is the director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, joins FP Live’s Ravi Agrawal to explore how policymakers should adjust.

Can the Next Secretary-General Deliver for the World’s Young People and Young Countries?

In 1960, when 17 African nations declared independence from colonial rule, the United Nations reinvented itself. Today, Africa and parts of Asia are home to the largest generation of young people in history. In Africa alone, 12 million young people enter the workforce every year, but only 3 million formal jobs are created. Development assistance is no longer enough. African leaders want real structural power in the global economy. On this episode of World’s Toughest Job, we ask: Can the next U.N. secretary-general deliver for the world’s young people and young countries? Host Jasmin Baoumy and co-host Mark Malloch-Brown are joined by Martin Kimani, president and CEO of the Africa Center and a former Kenyan ambassador to the U.N.; Joe Studwell, a senior fellow at the United Kingdom’s Overseas Development Institute and the Africa Urban Lab; and Saru Duckworth, a doctoral researcher at Oxford University. World’s Toughest Job is a co-production of Foreign Policy and the UN Foundation.

Is Russia the Unintended Winner of Trump’s Iran War?

There’s little doubt that the conflict in Iran has hurt much of the world economy. But not Russia. Data suggests that the Kremlin has already made billions of dollars in additional oil revenue since the United States and Israel attacked Iran. But beyond just cash, how much will this change President Vladimir Putin’s broader strategy? And what does this mean for the fate of the war in Ukraine? Alexander Gabuev, the director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, joins FP Live to explain how Russia is navigating a moment of particular global flux. Plus, Ravi offers his read on U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to Beijing. Christian Caryl: Vladimir Putin Is Much Weaker Than You Think Sean Wiswesser: Don’t Fall for Rumors of Putin’s Weakness Keith Johnson: Russia Is Making Bank on Trump’s Iran War Christian Caryl: How Ukraine Benefited From Trump’s Iran War Alexey Kovalev: Russia’s War Boom Masks an Economic Implosion Learn more about your ad choices.
