  • Summary

  • What is "the West"—and does the world still need it? In this thought-provoking episode of IAF Continued Conversations, hosts Bettina Solinger and Sven Gerst sit down with Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff, author of The World Needs the West, to explore these pressing questions in light of shifting global dynamics. Together, they unpack how the concept of "the West" has evolved, both from within and from the perspective of the Global South. From the impact of Donald Trump’s presidency to the challenges posed by China’s rise and systemic rivalry, this episode examines the fractures and futures of transatlantic alliances and liberal democratic values. Can the West regain its footing and address the frustrations of a disillusioned Global South? Or are we witnessing the dawn of a truly multipolar world order? Discover fresh perspectives and surprising insights—and don’t miss Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff’s book recommendation for every liberal thinker!
