This podcast interview with Danny Bradlow is the accompanying podcast to Danny's article, "Lessons from the Frontlines: What I Learned from My Participation in the G20". This article is the first in a series of examinations of former officials and others who have been directly involved in the workings of global summitry. The 'Summit Dialogue' series is intended to give us insights into how current global summitry actually makes, or fails to make, policy at the global governance level. Danny was the first head of the South African Reserve Bank’s (SARB) International Economic Relations and Policy Department. In this capacity, Danny represented the SARB in G20 and BRICS meetings during approximately two years ending in October 2014. Enjoy both the article and the podcast.

In this second podcast in the Global Summitry podcast series, Stewart Patrick of the Council of Foreign Relations examines the evolution of multilateralism in the global order.This podcast is part of Stewart's 'Feature Article' "The New “New Multilateralism”: Minilateral Cooperation, but at What Cost?" As the title suggests multilateralism as a global order tool has gone through a succession of iterations. The most recent iteration is the development of informal minilateral arrangements. As Stewart points out, these new collaborative arrangements are not unalloyed improvements for global order collaboration.

In this first podcast senior editor Alan Alexandroff interviews Henry Farrell, Associate Professor of Political Science at George Washington University and occasional blogger at the 'Monkey Cage' at The Washington Post. Alan raises questions around what he and Henry refer to as global 'green lanternism' - the exercise, or not, of US power in the global order and its consequences. What emerges out of this interview is a complex picture of actors and their arrangements in the global order - what Henry describes as the 'New Interdependence'.
