In conversation with Dean of Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University Dr. Adil Najam, this episode explains today’s world order, political systems in Covid-19, and issue of climate change. What is the world order today? What do alliances look like in today’s world order and what does the Ukraine crisis tell us about this? What is U.S.’s relationship with Pakistan and India? Why is India able to get away with its Hindutva politics? What are the tools of international power diplomacy or soft power? What did Covid-19 tell us about multilateral systems? What did Covid-19 tell us about the efficiency of democracy and authoritarianism- which is better? Should Pakistan shift to a Presidential system from a Prime Ministerial system? Why do you think the issue of climate change the biggest issue that faces us today? What is climate security? How is the issue of climate change linked to issue of bad governance? What is the #LivingIndus? How do you see COP’26 and similar efforts towards a global climate solution? What will the Pakistan of 2050 look like?
