None Of The Above

Episode 10: Why The '90s Matter


Listen Later

The 1990s were a pivotal decade for the United States and the world. This season on None Of The Above, we rewinded to the '90s to cover the breakup of the Soviet Union, America's unipolar moment, and the rise of China. We explored civil war in Afghanistan, the spread of nuclear weapons, South Africa's transition to democracy, and much more. The '90s also gave rise to free trade, globalization, and the growth of the internet – all of which profoundly shaped the world we live in today.

In the final episode of our '90s Rewind miniseries, we asked Ian Bremmer to wrap it all up. He joins the Institute for Global Affairs' Mark Hannah to revisit some of these key moments and walk us through how he was thinking about them at the time, and how he looks back on them now with the benefit of hindsight. Ian also happens to be our board president here at IGA.
