Why We Still Need the United Nations with UN Secretary-General António Guterres
The world’s largest multilateral organization was born out of the global crisis of World War II. Now, as another crisis rocks the world, the United Nations is facing a challenge of its own—to remain relevant in an increasingly nationalistic geopolitical environment. On the eve of the first Virtual UN General Assembly, Ian Bremmer spoke to UN Secretary-General António Guterres about pandemic response, climate action, the US/China schism, and more on the GZERO World podcast.

Special edition: What does the world think of the US election?
No matter who wins the US election, the result will reverberate around the world through America's policies on trade, immigration, and security. To understand that impact better, the writers of Signal, GZERO's newsletter, asked local journalists in 24 countries how the election is viewed where they live, and what they expect to come next. Overall, there is a profound unease about the US role in the world, which will persist well beyond November 3. This special podcast features highlights of those interviews in a discussion with the whole Signal team, moderated by GZERO's Alex Kliment.

Stanford's President Marc Tessier-Lavigne: College in the Covid Age
Stanford University president Marc Tessier-Lavigne joins Ian Bremmer to talk about how higher education is trying (and in many cases failing) to adjust to the pandemic this fall. Tessier-Lavigne made news in August by reversing a June decision to welcome undergraduates back to campus, determining that California’s summer Covid outbreak made it untenable to bring most students back. A look at how Tessier-Lavigne came to that decision, how Stanford intends to enforce Covid restrictions once all students do return, and what the future of higher education will look like in a post-pandemic world.

Special Edition: Has Globalism Been Canceled?
Globalism came with big promises—free trade, open borders, and a rising tide that would lift everyone’s boat, including members of the working class. But decades into the experiment and months into the worst global crisis in a lifetime, nationalist populism is on the rise. In this critical moment, is there a way forward that continues the economic boom of globalism while more equitably distributing its benefits? The latest episode of Living Beyond Borders features Ian Bremmer, President of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, along with Citi’s Chief Global Economist Catherine Mann in a conversation about the future of globalism moderated by Meredith Sumpter.

Ian talks to acclaimed journalist Kim Ghattas, author of Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East, about the road ahead for Lebanon and how this moment could impact the region.

Flying Blind: The U.S. Government’s Pandemic Response with Dr. Tom Frieden
Former CDC director – and current CEO of the public health initiative Resolve to Save Lives – Dr. Tom Frieden joins Ian Bremmer to talk about how to get the Covid-19 pandemic under control in the United States (hint: we need more data). As with politics, Dr. Frieden argues, all epidemics are local. And the outbreaks crippling much of the South and Southwest need local responses. But the main failing lies at the federal level. Things won’t improve (and schools won’t effectively reopen) Dr. Frieden warns, until Washington alters course. That is, of course, until an effective vaccine becomes readily accessible to all Americans. Though even that will likely not be the silver bullet we all want it to be.
