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…
@alibomaye @saberibrahimi And the fascinating discussion with @emmadouyon & @JStPaul1 on developments in the new world's second oldest republic and the first Black republic, Haiti, going beyond the headlines ... 3/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@alibomaye @saberibrahimi @emmadouyon @JStPaul1 A test as to whether the U.S. can pivot its foreign policy to new opportunities and to redefine the notion of the Atlantic community came in our discussion with @hofrench -- and whether we can reversed missed opportunities in Africa ... 4/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@alibomaye @saberibrahimi @emmadouyon @JStPaul1 @hofrench Latin America could be the harbinger of renewed political shifts throughout the world--assessing the impact of populist right (and left) forces throughout the hemisphere. Our talk with @frandesanti ... 5/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@alibomaye @saberibrahimi @emmadouyon @JStPaul1 @hofrench @frandesanti And India appears to be the keystone country of the future--courted by the U.S. as part of the quad, balancing against China, and retaining its ties to Russia, with its own outreach to the Middle East and Africa. We had @d_jaishankar to discuss ... 6/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@alibomaye @saberibrahimi @emmadouyon @JStPaul1 @hofrench @frandesanti @d_jaishankar And to tie all of these three tweetstorms together, listen to @nahaltoosi's Doorstep podcast and the concept of "omnipolicy"--where all of these foreign and domestic issues get blended into one-and where, on all these issues, the emphasis is "they are trying to coordinate, 7/
@alibomaye @saberibrahimi @emmadouyon @JStPaul1 @hofrench @frandesanti @d_jaishankar @nahaltoosi to talk, and to loop everyone in"--both domestic stakeholders and partners, allies and even rivals around the world. 8/ carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multime…
@alibomaye @saberibrahimi @emmadouyon @JStPaul1 @hofrench @frandesanti @d_jaishankar @nahaltoosi How is all of this going to work out and develop in 2022? Tune into the @Doorsteppodcast to find out! (And with that, @threadreaderapp, please unroll!) END

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…

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/

@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/

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/
