10 Biggest Threats to the World in 2024, Ranked by Ian Bremmer

Por OC — 13 de Fevereiro de 2024, 10:00

At the start of each year, Ian Bremmer, a political scientist and president of Eurasia Group, creates a list that ranks the greatest threats to our world. In 2024, Bremmer puts his finger on Ungoverned AI, a Partitioned Ukraine, a volatile Middle East, and a sputtering Chinese economy. But the biggest threat? A divided United States where the right and left consider each other an existential threat, where political candidates threaten their rivals, where power doesn’t get transitioned peacefully, and where foreign nations look to further sow the seeds of internal division. You can read Bremmer’s full report here.

Yuval Noah Harari and Fareed Zakaria Break Down What’s Happening in the Middle East

Por OC — 15 de Outubro de 2023, 07:11

We give you two perspectives on what’s happening in the Middle East this week.

Above, foreign affairs columnist Fareed Zakaria talks with Scott Galloway about the conflict in Israel, providing historical context and exploring what’s likely to come. And below Yuval Noah Harari (historian, philosopher and best-selling author of Sapiens and Homo Deus) takes you inside the Israeli response to the massacres, how Israel might respond, and whether the prospects for peace have essentially vanished for quite some time.

Ian Bremmer on The Israel-Hamas War, and What It Means for the World

Por OC — 11 de Outubro de 2023, 10:34

In the wake of Hamas’ gruesome attack on Israeli civilians, political scientist Ian Bremmer explains “the historical context of the conflict, how Israel might respond and what it means for Jews, Palestinians and the world at large.” The conversation also covers “how the US may factor into the global response and how to find reliable information amid the breathless media coverage and the fog of war.” Hosted by TED’s head of curation Helen Walters, this conversation was recorded on October 9, 2023.
