Alex Krainer: Declining Europe vs Rising BRICS

Author: Glenn Diesen April 9, 2025 Duration: 48:36

Podcast episode

Glenn Diesen - Greater Eurasia Podcast explores how Russian foreign policy, geoeconomics, and Eurasian integration are reshaping the world order. Hosted by Professor Glenn Diesen, this podcast offers in depth discussions on the shifting balance of power between East and West, the rise of Greater Eurasia as a strategic and economic space, and the ideas driving these transformations. Listeners can expect thoughtful analysis, accessible explanations of complex geopolitical trends, and conversations that connect current events to long term structural changes in international politics. Whether you follow news and politics closely or are just beginning to explore global affairs, you can listen episodes to gain a clearer understanding of why Eurasia matters and how it influences security, trade, and diplomacy. This podcast is for anyone seeking serious, informed perspectives beyond the usual headlines.

Alex Krainer discusses the dramatic shifts in the international economy and the possible political consequences. Europe is losing its privileged position in the international system as it becomes an object of security, and is increasingly opposed by the US, China and Russia. In the East, BRICS offers an alternative to American-led globalisation.
