In a special end of year episode, Laura examines the most significant developments of 2020 in three key regions: Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

First, Evan Feigenbaum and Laura talk about the development of regional trade deals, the India-China border dispute, and the shaky way forward for US-China relations.

Next, Rosa Balfour joins Laura to discuss about European cooperation on coronavirus, the continued migration crisis, and the challenges 2021 may bring for UK-EU relations.

Finally, Aaron David Miller and Laura look at how the pandemic impacted the Middle East, tensions between Iran and the US, and the glimmer of hope offered by the normalization between Israel and several Arab states.
