Join the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) for a panel discussion on Wednesday, July 16, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET to mark the release of the new report, Global Swing States and the New Great Power Competition.
It has become increasingly commonplace to observe the return of great power competition, the contest over the future of the international order, and the critical role that pivotal, multi-aligned states—or “global swing states”—will play in the outcome. Brazil, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Türkiye will together exert disproportionate influence over the future of the international order. The United States lacks, however, an overall strategy for ensuring that their policies and actions mesh with American priorities rather than those of Beijing and Moscow. Panelists will explore how to engage global swing states to bring about a vision of world order favorable to U.S. interests.
The discussion will begin with remarks by Richard Fontaine and Gibbs McKinley. Following that, Kathy Gilsinan, senior editor at Puck News, will moderate a panel featuring Richard Fontaine; Ambassador Mark Green, former president of the Wilson Center and USAID administrator during the first Trump administration; and Matan Chorev, associate director at RAND Global and Emerging Risks.
