World Review with Ivo Daalder

Key Topics

How the American experiment of government based on consent and inalienable rights ignited global movements and reshaped societies, from Europe to Asia.

The complex legacy of America’s post-1945 institutional order, the Marshall Plan, NATO, United Nations, and whether this framework still works or if it's fundamentally broken.

The rise of competing models like China’s authoritarian capitalism and the implications for democracies worldwide.

Why America’s internal struggles, polarization, and quest for national self-redefinition threaten its ability to lead and inspire future generations.

The risks and opportunities of a world where the U.S. steps back, and other nations forge a new, possibly more interdependent, global order.
