In this edition of the Through Conversations Podcast, Professor Paul Post joins me for a second time.

The episode begins with a reflection on 2023, a year marked by conflict, and transitions into a discussion about the shift towards a multipolar world order and what does this mean in terms of world conflicts as we are witnessing across the globe. The conversation tackles whether this multipolarity might be synonymous with increased global conflict and considers its implications for the United States.

The dialogue also addresses the significant impact of the U.S. presidential elections, not just domestically, but internationally. Further, the episode explores the reverberations of election outcomes in Taiwan amid tensions with China, the political landscape in India, and the ramifications of elections in the UK, Israel, and Ukraine, offering a panoramic view of global political dynamics.
