“Is the global rules- and norms-based order falling apart under the pressures of Trumpism, Putinism, and other aspects of the new global authoritarianism? If you've lost as much sleep as I have over this question these last 14 months, then the ECFR's current series on "the End of the World" is coming at the right time. Kudos to Mark Leonard for scratching that particular itch all summer long.
The FT's affable and eloquent Ed Luce (whom you might know from the surprisingly cathartic Deep State Radio) kicked off the series, followed by the reprehensible Edward Luttwak, who on top of being a barely concealed crypto-fascist, was also barely coherent.
Parag Khanna was adding a bit of depth to the conversation by breaking the Eurocentric worldview and adding thoughts on (notably infrastructure and supply-chain-driven) interdependence. In episode four, Vincenzo Iozzo summarises some of the information security issues at work when it comes to protecting the global liberal order.
One major qualm, though: four out of four guests have been male so far. Come on, Mark, this is 2017. Once you've ended the all male panel streak, you're getting a fifth star.
UPDATE: the all-male streak has been interrupted and I have duly added a fifth star to this review. The World in 30 minutes is quite a unique podcast on EU affairs (wish there were more like it) and it deserves all the listeners it can get.”Read full review »

Mark's pace and humour goes someway to offsetting the troubling themes in...”Read full review »

“Annoying when academics like Parag Khanna are given spotlights to tout themselves and their books. These types don’t know much but they speak and write well. The show is always better with guests from outside the think thank bubble.”
