Grand Strategy for the Global Disorder

Katharina Emschermann and Stacie Goddard talk about grand strategy.

In the fourth episode of the “Berlin Security Beat”, Dr. Katharina Emschermann, Deputy Director at the Centre, interviews Stacie Goddard, Professor of Political Science at Wellesley College and an expert on international order and global power politics.

In their conversation, they address the grand-strategic successes and failures, and how to keep a U.S.-China “Cold War 2.0” from becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
