The Monterey Trialogue has recently launched a podcast series, featuring conversations with experts and ex-officials from the United States, Russia, and China.
New episodes will be released every Wednesday.
The Monterey Trialogue, which is hosted by the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, provides a unique platform for constructive exchange among experts and ex-officials from the United States, Russia, and China. Since the middle of the 20th century, the shifting relationship among these three nations has had a profound impact on each country separately and on the world as a whole. Yet the breakdown of contacts, combined with political, cultural, and linguistic barriers, have hindered the study of the full trilateral dynamic.
“At a moment where even bilateral channels of communication have begun to break down, we hope to offer a new and necessary perspective on the defining geopolitical relationship of our time,” said Peter Slezkine, the director of the Monterey Trialogue and host of the podcast series.
His conversations with experts and ex-officials from the United States, Russia, China, and beyond cover cold wars past and present, potential areas of conflict and cooperation, and alternative visions of global order, among other subjects.
The first two episodes of the Monterey Trialogue podcast have featured Xiang Lanxin, professor emeritus at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, and Andrey Kortunov, founding director of the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC).
