EVENT:

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and SMPA's Terker Distinguished Fellow, David Sanger, joins Frank Sesno for a riveting conversation on America's escalating rivalry with China and Russia in the post-Cold War era. Drawing from his latest book, New Cold Wars, Sanger delivers a gripping account of the high-stakes confrontations shaping our world—spanning military, economic, political, and technological fronts.

Through exclusive interviews with top officials and an in-depth analysis of global events, Sanger unpacks how U.S. assumptions about Russia and China's integration into a Western-led order have shifted—leading to an era of intensified geopolitical competition.

This event is co-hosted with the Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication and the Elliott School of International Affairs.
