Cold War 2.0? The View from the Rest of the World
A new U.S. cold war with China would be a disaster for the international community. Intense strategic competition is already undermining cooperation on global issues from the economy to the environment and heightening the possibility of catastrophic armed conflict.
How does the rest of the world view the prospect of Cold War 2.0? Is there room for peaceful and productive rivalry between China and the United States that acknowledges ideological divides while seeking common ground? How can other countries, international institutions, and transnational movements help to avert a protracted and dangerous U.S.-Chinese confrontation? Mohsin Hamid, Nesrine Malik, Ece Temelkuran, and Anne Applebaum will be exploring these questions in a conversation moderated by Isaac Chotiner.
This event is part of the Georgetown Global Dialogues, which feature leading intellectuals from the Global South in forward-looking conversations with U.S.-based thinkers across a range of topics. It is co-sponsored by the Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution program, Department of Government, Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues, Institute for the Study of Diplomacy, and Master of Science in Foreign Service Program at Georgetown University and will begin with a short In Your Shoes™ performance, which harnesses the power of dialogue and deep listening to celebrate a diversity of perspectives.
