#COVID19 is bad for international cooperation, says Prof. Poast. Not only does it undermine global health cooperation (see @WHO), but, as viruses are prone to do, it also "spreads" to "infect" other areas of international cooperation.  Listen to how it does so and what it means for the future of international cooperation.

The militarization of policing, an already anxiety-laden, polarized population, citizen disgust at US overseas adventures, and threats to use military force against protestors turn a spotlight on the links between foreign and domestic policy.

Foreign policy experts are at odds over whether the pandemic will lead to global peace or to a new Cold War between the US and China. Paul Poast looks at both ends of the continuum and brings Hong Kong into the mix.
