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.

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.

The Politics of a Pandemic with Sen. Chris Coons
As GZERO World kicks off its third season, Ian Bremmer is examining the state of U.S. response and recovery six months into the pandemic. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) joins to discuss what Congress has done to provide economic relief to businesses and people impacted by the unexpected and unprecedented downturn, and next steps still to come. He also takes jabs at GOP Congressional colleagues who he says have “followed (Trump’s) lead rather than science.” Bremmer and Coons also discuss reports of a Russian bounty plot to pay for the murders of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. Coons tells the story of 43-year-old Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Christopher Slutman who died in a 2019 roadside bombing alleged to be a part of that plot. The two also dive into election security and the 2020 presidential race. Coons offers details of “The Biden Doctrine,” what U.S. foreign policy could look like if Biden wins. He also discusses lessons learned from Sec. Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 campaign.
