Edward joins to talk about the current moment in international politics and economics, one in which American hegemony is under fire and politics that oppose global trade and immigration are on the rise in many places. We talk about the values that underpin liberal internationalism and how the challenges America faces both at home and abroad affect its ability to shape that system into the future.
