Panel: Learning or repeating? America’s moment of reflection

from World Today

The American think tank Council on Foreign Relations has ranked the ten best and worst decisions in U.S. foreign policy history. Now, as Washington grows more skeptical of multilateralism, reassesses alliances more transactionally, and returns to tariffs and sanctions, history feels closer than ever. What lessons—and what warnings—does America’s diplomatic past hold for today? Host Ge Anna is joined by Zoon Ahmed Khan, Research Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization; Josef Mahoney, Professor of Politics and International Relations at East China Normal University; and Dr. Liu Kuangyu, Researcher at the Institute of Taiwan Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
