US Grand Strategy & the Revenge of Geopolitics Edward Luce

In Episode 477 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Edward Luce, columnist and US national editor at the Financial Times, about the history of American Grand Strategy and the revenge of geopolitics in a new age of multipolarity and great power competition. Kofinas and Luce trace the decline of American grand strategy back to the end of the Cold War and the emergence of a more risk-averse, process-oriented era in US foreign policy. They then discuss how the Trump administration has upended many of the practices that defined that era, introducing new risks to America's policy in the Middle East and its relationships with European and Asian allies, before turning to the administration's China strategy ahead of the Trump-Xi Summit now less than a month away.
