Professor Arne Westad (Yale University) talks with the Thinking Global team about what it is to 'think globally' when it comes to international politics, the potential for a new Cold War, Sino-US relations, developing states in the international order, and what it is to think about global politics 'in language'. Thinking Global is affiliated with E-International Relations - the world's leading open access website for students and scholars of international politics.
