The Women Leaders podcast: Wide waves of war

In the face of sustained conflict in the Persian Gulf, oil, gas, and fertiliser supplies are running low, and prices are running high. Nations across the globe are reevaluating their geostrategic partnerships in the face of this disruption. To unpack the full international implications of the US/Israeli-Iran war, ELN Senior Associate Fellow Ilana Bet-El is joined by Shihoko Goto of the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) and Rebecca Christie of Bruegel.

The Women Leaders podcast: China watching

As Trump’s America slides into economic uncertainty and deepening division, it seems to be shedding its role as a global leader. China, meanwhile, is stepping into the vacuum; cultivating ties with the Global South, showcasing its power on the world stage, and supporting Russia in Ukraine. Is Beijing truly positioning itself as the new global leader, or is it just another player in the chaos? Lauren Gloudeman, Director of China at Eurasia Group, joins ELN Senior Associate Fellow Ilana Bet-El to explore China’s changing position in the international order.

The Women Leaders podcast: China, the world, and power

China has long contrasted itself with the United States, and the West more generally, as offering trade and aid to developing nations, without subjecting partners to moral lectures on democracy and human rights. President Trump, on his recent visit to Saudi Arabia, announced that the US would no longer tie aid and trade to democracy and human rights, signalling a further retreat from the post-WW2 order and posing an unexpected challenge to China’s no-strings-attached global strategy. ELN Senior Associate Fellow Ilana Bet-El explores this with Dr Ivana Karásková.

The non-proliferation considerations of nuclear-powered submarines

The AUKUS partnership has sparked heated debate about the use of nuclear-powered submarines by non-nuclear weapon states. Alexander Hoppenbrouwers writes that the main risks of diversion of nuclear material lie outside of its use to fuel nuclear-powered submarines, and that the International Atomic Energy Agency should argue for strict verification measures on the basis of earlier negotiations on this topic.
