Seismic shifts in global politics: wars escalate, authoritarianism rises, and democracy faces its toughest test in today’s turbulent world.
Not since the 1930s has the world stood at such a dangerous inflection point. On this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast, our guest, Shay Khatiri, discusses the seismic shifts in global politics since his last appearance during the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
With his roots in Iran and a scholarly perspective, he offers a panoramic view of today’s geopolitical landscape amid the complex crises that are testing the resilience of democratic states.
Khatiri, a senior fellow at the Yorktown Institute, a scholar at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and the author of The Russia-Iran File Substack newsletter, lays bare the West’s strategic missteps that he believes have emboldened the aggressive stances of Russia and Iran.
The conversation delves into the regional fallout from the Abraham Accords, which aimed to end Israel’s diplomatic isolation, and the chilling advance of authoritarian regimes in Europe and Asia, painting a vivid portrait of a world on the brink of a devastating implosion.
