Yesterday, we assessed the "state of the narrative" about U.S. global engagement after the first year of the Biden/Harris administration by referring back to 2021 episodes of the Doorstep Podcast. Today we look at trends shaping the global system. 1/
.@gabrielboric election in Chile is the latest 2021 signal of generational change in politics. Born 1986, he has no memory of the Cold War and came to political maturity in the post-9/11 world. We looked at the ? of generational change with @aubcott ... 2/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@gabrielboric @aubcott and how social media and new platforms are changing the way younger people organize, protest and get active in political affairs, with @DrTiaCMTyree ... 3/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree Technology, as @NunnSchoolGT's @lprubin73 has been tracking, has a real impact on what states can and cannot do (example from @FPRI here). From the Russian ASAT test to the #JamesWebbTelescope to @elonmusk & @JeffBezos privates space ventures, 4/ fpri.org/article/2021/0…
@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree @NunnSchoolGT @lprubin73 @FPRI @elonmusk @JeffBezos space matters. Listen to @wapodavenport's discussion with us on the changing space environment! 5/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree @NunnSchoolGT @lprubin73 @FPRI @elonmusk @JeffBezos @wapodavenport Supply chain issues and how goods get to market have been an ongoing concern this year. @XenetaSand's discussion with us about global shipping helps to illustrate connectivity and chokepoints ... 6/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree @NunnSchoolGT @lprubin73 @FPRI @elonmusk @JeffBezos @wapodavenport @XenetaSand But how we pay for things may be changing--as new currencies come online that are deconnected from states. How cryptocurrencies may change how we buy and sell and save and transfer was part of our discussion with @NYUStern's David Yermack ... 7/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree @NunnSchoolGT @lprubin73 @FPRI @elonmusk @JeffBezos @wapodavenport @XenetaSand @NYUStern But as things become decentralized & privatized, how does this impact a state's ability to use economic tools? U.S. prefers to use sanctions whenever possible, so we had @reziemba to discuss sanctions with us. 8/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree @NunnSchoolGT @lprubin73 @FPRI @elonmusk @JeffBezos @wapodavenport @XenetaSand @NYUStern @reziemba The most critical commodity is food--and linking that to the health of the oceans and the future of the food supply, was our conversation with @MartySmithDuke ... 9/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree @NunnSchoolGT @lprubin73 @FPRI @elonmusk @JeffBezos @wapodavenport @XenetaSand @NYUStern @reziemba @MartySmithDuke Food insecurity, climate change, new economic connectivities, wars and conflicts--are all drivers for migration. How the movement of the peoples in the 21st century will reshape the world by mid century--our conversation with @paragkhanna. 10/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree @NunnSchoolGT @lprubin73 @FPRI @elonmusk @JeffBezos @wapodavenport @XenetaSand @NYUStern @reziemba @MartySmithDuke @paragkhanna And if we have private currencies, private space firms, why not a return to private militaries? @seanmcfate discussed the rise of the private military companies and implications for the future of armed conflict. 11/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…

@gabrielboric @aubcott @DrTiaCMTyree @NunnSchoolGT @lprubin73 @FPRI @elonmusk @JeffBezos @wapodavenport @XenetaSand @NYUStern @reziemba @MartySmithDuke @paragkhanna @seanmcfate @stephenjadler @pressfreedom @shuDiplomacy And with that, we see some major shifts in world affairs in our future, based on these trends. Our last roundup will be to look at key regions of the world. @threadreaderapp, please unroll! END

Yesterday, we catalogued some of the 2021 Doorstep episodes that discussed trends shaping our international system and our future. We close out today with a look at podcasts focusing on different areas of the world. 1/
Perhaps our most poignant and gripping report came from Afghanistan in the days after the Taliban retook control of the country, with @alibomaye & @saberibrahimi ... 2/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…

As we exit 2021, how has the #doorstep figured in discussions of U.S. foreign policy? And has the Biden/Harris administration laid the foundations for a new narrative for U.S. global engagement? Our last podcast with @MoElleithee starts the discussion. 1/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
Colin Dueck raised concerns about the "say/do" gap--that rhetoric would outpace actual action. We've had a number of statements: foreign policy for the middle class, America is back, build back better ... how is that translating? 2/
carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@MoElleithee The new administration came in with a full agenda. @ashjain50 noted both the work needed to rebuild alliances and partnerships and to ground America's position in the world at the head of a democratic coalition. 3/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…

@RadioFreeTom #NickGvosdev here. Since I teach History of the Cold War for @HarvardExt, let me add my two cents. In class one, we look at the impact of 1917 and the attempt to reach a consensus during World War II. In class, we date start of Cold War to 1946, based on 1) Iran situation ... 1/
@RadioFreeTom @HarvardExt 2) Stalin's 1946 speech; 3) stopping of travel between the Korean zones; 4) breakdown of Allied coordination on Germany ... continues through 1947 and 1948 based on how elections in Eastern Europe shake out, and the rejection of the Marshall Plan. Symbolically by March 1948, 2/
@RadioFreeTom @HarvardExt when USSR walks out of the Allied Control Council for Germany and declares it no longer capable of functioning, we can say the WWII Grand Alliance is definitely over. Push to create a single Western Germany and NATO in 1949 confirms that. 3/

At the beginning of 2019, @RadioFreeTom and @ianbremmer met at the @carnegiecouncil to discuss globalization and populism. Recent @Ipsos and @wef polls bear revisiting their conclusions. 1/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@RadioFreeTom @ianbremmer @carnegiecouncil @Ipsos @wef The findings suggest "a mix of polarization and ambivalence among the public throughout the world about free trade, globalization, and protectionist policies." 2/ ipsos.com/en/sentiment-a…
@RadioFreeTom @ianbremmer @carnegiecouncil @Ipsos @wef Policymakers may find it difficult to reconcile findings where majorities say "expanding trade is a good thing" and that "there should be more trade barriers." 3/

Important piece from @profmusgrave ... suggests that the climate change narrative we identified at the @carnegiecouncil may not have as much motivating power in domestic politics ... 1/
@profmusgrave @carnegiecouncil We've seen this in the discussion in recent days with @reziemba, @CarolynKissane and @v_madalina about how short-term doorstep considerations, especially pocketbook concerns about energy prices, can trump longer-term climate policy. 2/

This @Reuters report from @Cmkahn detailing @Ipsos polling demonstrates the contradictory impulses on the part of U.S. voters, both in policy and ethical terms. 1/ reuters.com/world/us/biden…
@Reuters @Cmkahn @Ipsos "For example, a majority of the 18-to-65-year-olds who took the Ipsos survey - 68% - agreed that the war “was going to end badly, no matter when the U.S. left,” and 61% wanted the United States to complete its withdrawal of troops on schedule." 2/
@Reuters @Cmkahn @Ipsos "Yet a smaller majority - 51% - also agreed that “it would have been worth it for the United States to leave troops in Afghanistan another year,” and 50% wanted to send troops back into the country to fight the Taliban." 3/
