This is a sample of the Munk Members-Only Podcast. The program provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates.
This week’s Munk Members podcast catches up with Janice Stein at the Halifax Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada. As one of the West’s premiere gatherings of security experts, senior military leaders and politicians responsible for defense and security, the Forum provides a unique entry point into the geopolitical preoccupations of our time. As a longstanding conference delegate Janice Stein takes co-host Rudyard Griffiths behind the scene to explore what Western democracies’ security establishments really think about Putin, the threat of war over Taiwan, the rise of autonomous weapons and whether creating a so-called “league of democracies” is a plausible deterrent to a rising China or a catalyst for cold war and hot war conflicts in the 21st century.
