Michael McFaul has spent a lifetime studying Russia and the global contest between great powers.A Rhodes Scholar and Stanford professor, he speaks from the perspective of scholar, diplomat and author.From 2012 to 2014, he served as U.S. Ambassador to Russia under President Obama, after three years on the National Security Council as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Russian and Eurasian Affairs.He writes about this and much more in his new book, Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder.This is a moment in which it is crucial to understand the risks and possibilities of the competition among great powers. We’ll talk about many things - Russia’s war in Ukraine and what it reveals about the limits of Western deterrence, China’s expanding reach across Asia and the global economy, and America’s role in a changing world - including what yesterday’s Trump - Xi in South Korea meeting says about the complex diplomacy now shaping the U.S. - China dynamic.For more, please visit: www.charlierose.com
