February 24, 2024 11:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBIt’s been two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

February 10, 2024 11:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MBOn the GZERO World Podcast, we're tackling America’s border crisis.

And in the United States, the presidential election threatens to rip apart the feeble tendrils holding together American democracy. All those trends and more...

December 09, 2023 11:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBIan Bremmer is in Tokyo, Japan, to check in on America’s “pivot to Asia.” How’s that going? Given that neither Ukraine nor Israel is located in the Asia Pacific, it is not so great! In 2011, then-President Obama announced on a trip to Australia that US foreign policy would be shifting its focus away from costly wars in the Middle East and towards strengthening partnerships in the Asia-Pacific to curb a rising China. Twelve years later, we’re still pivoting. But if we ever do get there, we ...

But like most new tech, there’s also potential for misuse, privacy concerns, and ethical implications. Gene editing can cur...
Can governments protect us from dangerous software bugs?

Would the proposed UN Cybercrime Treaty hurt more than it helps?
November 14, 2023 19:00 - 31 minutes - 31.7 MBAs the world of cybercrime continues to expand, it follows suit that more international legal standards should follow. But while many governments around the globe see a need for a cybercrime treaty to set a standard, a current proposal on the table at the United Nations is raising concerns among private companies and nonprofit organizations alike. There are fears it covers too broad a scope of crime and could fail to protect free speech and other human rights across borders while not actuall...

November 07, 2023 18:00 - 30 minutes - 30.9 MBThanks to advancing technology like artificial intelligence and deep fakes, governments can increasingly use the online world to spread misinformation and influence foreign citizens and governments - as well as citizens at home.

In season 2, episode 3 of Patching the System, we're focusing on the international system o...
Iran's role in the Gaza war: is escalation inevitable?
November 04, 2023 10:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBWith all eyes on Israel’s escalating war with Hamas, what’s Iran’s next move? Iran gets around. In Southern Lebanon, Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters have a missile arsenal that dwarfs Hamas’ rocket supply and could overwhelm Israel’s famed “Iron Dome” air defense. The Pentagon recently redirected the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier and its strike group of destroyers to the Middle East instead of the eastern Mediterranean, ready to intercept missile and drone strikes by Iran-backed Houthi mi...
Cyber mercenaries and the global surveillance-for-hire market
October 31, 2023 21:30 - 30 minutes - 30.5 MBThe use of mercenaries is nothing new in kinetic warfare, but they are becoming a growing threat in cyberspace as well. The weapon of choice for cyber mercenaries is malicious spyware that undermines otherwise benign technologies, and can be sold for profit.

In episode 2, season 2 of Patching the System, we're focusing on the internationa...

But the diplomatic fallout has been swift: Canada expelled the head of India’s security service in Canada, and New De...

October 21, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBTwo weeks into Israel's bloody war with Hamas, the death toll continues to mount, and amidst the rubble of bombed-out buildings, one thing seems clear: things are far from over. On the GZERO World podcast, Ian Bremmer asks what role the US government should play in the conflict, and whether that role is as clear-cut today as it was after the attack on October 7. President Biden made a politically and personally dangerous trip to Israel this week, showing solidarity for America’s closest ally...
The war between Israel and Hamas and its unfathomable human toll
October 14, 2023 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBIsrael is at war, caught in the worst surprise attack in half a century. Hamas’ shock terrorist attacks cut deep into Israeli territory. That psychological trauma compounds the shock for millions of Israelis that their world-class intelligence and security forces completely missed this. That’s why comparisons with the 9/11 attacks on the US are the right analogy – Israel’s weakness was, in part, a failure of imagination. Hamas has launched a suicidal war, and Palestinians will pay dearly f...
Challenging the climate change narrative with Bjorn Lomborg
October 07, 2023 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31.1 MBOn the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer sits down with Danish author Bjorn Lomborg, a controversial figure in the world of climate change. Lomborg is unequivocal that climate change is a real problem and that humans are responsible for causing it. But where he differs from the global climate narrative is that the current focus on reducing carbon emissions is misguided and ineffective. Lomborg argues the world is too fixated on stopping climate change at the expense of… everything else. He ...

But development between countries has been uneven, and global ...
The case for global optimism with Steven Pinker
September 23, 2023 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MBWar in Ukraine. Global poverty on the rise. Hunger, too. Not to mention a persistent pandemic. It doesn't feel like a particularly good time to be alive. And yet, Harvard psychologist Stephen Pinker argues that things are getting better today than ever across the world, based on the metrics that matter. Like laundry. In 1920, the average American spent 11.5 hours a week doing laundry (and that average American was almost always a woman, dudes just wore dirty clothes). By 2014, the number h...
UN Secretary-General António Guterres explains why peace in Ukraine is his top priority
September 16, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBThe challenges facing the world today, from conflict in Ukraine to climate catastrophes across the globe, cannot be solved by one country alone. The need for multilateral solutions between nations, even between warring nations, has never been greater. And yet, as diplomats, ministers and heads of state converge on the United Nations in New York this week for the 78th annual UN General Assembly, the UN Secretary-General fears that we are entering a time of increased global fragmentation. "W...

China's great economic slowdown
August 12, 2023 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MBChina is undoubtedly the biggest economic success story of our lifetime. Between 1978 and 2017, China averaged almost 10% year-over-year GDP growth. Decades of pro-investment policies transformed China from a closed, centrally-planned economy to an economic powerhouse that could rival the US. But in the last decade, Chinese President Xi Jinping has been moving the country back to its socialist roots, with major crackdowns in tech, real estate, and foreign investment. Xi’s vision is one o...
Is Ukraine's counteroffensive failing, or is the tide about to turn?
August 05, 2023 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBA year and a half after Russia’s invasion, we’re looking at the state of war in Ukraine on the GZERO World Podcast. Why hasn’t Ukraine’s long-awaited counteroffensive been more effective? Things are going more slowly and less successfully than NATO commanders had hoped and expected, Ian Bremmer explains, based on his conversations with high-ranking officials. And although it looks like Ukraine’s military has recently launched a major thrust towards the south towards the Sea of Asov, the ti...

The past, present and future of political media

July 15, 2023 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBMaintaining secrecy can be invigorating, whether you're a child with hidden treasures or a CIA agent safeguarding classified information. However, the more secrets you bear, the heavier the burden becomes. This week’s guest, Jane Harman, who served nine terms in Congress and was a ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee after 9/11, understands the weight of secrecy firsthand. While there are valid justifications for classifying information, Harman asserts that the US government ...
Modi's India on the world stage
July 08, 2023 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MBIs India a US ally? Based on the pomp and circumstance surrounding Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s state visit to Washington in June, the answer seems obvious, right? They love us! We love them! End of story. Right? Well ... it’s complicated. India’s government is not ready to hitch its star to the American wagon, and the US has made it somewhat clear that it’s not a fan of India’s friendly ties to Russia and Iran. Add to that increasing international scrutiny of India’s eroding de...
The future of space: congested and contested
July 06, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MBSpace might be a big place but the United Nations regards it as ‘congested, contested and competitive’.

Artemis and the lunar economy
June 22, 2023 14:55 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBThere is a big difference between NASA’s current Artemis program and its Apollo program of five decades ago. This time, there is a long-term plan for humans on the moon. “We don't want to just touch it and come back and say we're done. We want to go there and stay there,” says NASA astronaut Raja Chari.

(Un)packing the Supreme Court with Yale Law's Emily Bazelon
June 10, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBThe Supreme Court, one of the three branches of government that makes up this country's democratic system of checks and balances, doesn't have a military. As a result, when its justices make a ruling, they count on a strong sense of public trust to ensure their decisions are carried out. Not all countries on this planet can count on that public trust, and with popular support for the Court plummeting to record lows, some experts fear that the United States may soon be unable to as well. So...
