Glenn Diesen - Greater Eurasia Podcast

News Politics

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.

I had the pleasure to speak with Prof. John Mearsheimer and Alexander Mercouris about what Trump can achieve as he returns to the White House. Trump will seek to shift focus away from an increasingly irrelevant Europe and America’s perpetual wars in the Middle East, as the main challenge to US dominance comes from China. However, Biden has escalated the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to such an extent that there are options left for Trump.
