The international system is under tremendous strain today as new challenges arise at all levels. Everything from China’s rise to Trump’s personalistic style of diplomacy to the larger role women are playing in the foreign policy arena has the potential to remake the old system.

In this podcast, RANE risk analyst Mina Pollmann interviews Carmen Medina, former CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence, for her take on the future of the international order.

Medina has 32 years’ experience in the Intelligence Community, and is an expert on intelligence analysis, strategic thinking, diversity of thought and innovation. She was a leader on diversity issues at the CIA, serving on equity boards at all organizational levels and across Directorates. She was also the first CIA executive to conceptualize many IT applications now used by analysts, including online production, collaborative tools, and Intellipedia.
