The Rachman Review

<p>More than three decades after <em>The End of History and the Last Man</em> made Francis Fukuyama one of the world’s best-known political thinkers, he is still correcting misconceptions about what he actually meant. In a wide-ranging conversation with host <a href="https://www.ft.com/gideon-rachman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Gideon Rachman</u></a>, Fukuyama revisits his original thesis and explores how resentment and the search for recognition are reshaping liberal democracy. They also discuss whether US institutions can withstand Donald Trump’s authoritarian impulses, why Fukuyama remains optimistic about American democracy, China and Russia’s quest for status, and his own intellectual journey away from neoconservatism.

<p>The world is experiencing a record number of conflicts, just as governments retreat from international aid and diplomacy to leave a more politically fragmented international landscape in their wake. That is the view of David Miliband, the former UK foreign secretary and president of the International Rescue Committee, in conversation with host Gideon Rachman. They discuss the escalating conflict in the Middle East, the collapse in humanitarian funding and whether middle powers can ever fill the vacuum left by the US.&nbsp;Clip: Al Jazeera</p><br><p><strong>Want more?

<p>Gideon Rachman speaks to historian and author Simon Sebag Montefiore about his new book, <em>The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East</em>. They discuss the forces that shaped the region, from the Ottoman Empire and Ataturk to the ongoing tensions between the US, Israel and Iran. Gideon and Simon examine the region's complexities and interconnectedness and whether lessons from the past can offer a glimpse into the future.

<p><a href="https://www.ft.com/gideon-rachman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gideon</a> talks to Vali Nasr, author of <em>Iran’s Grand Strategy </em>and professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Johns Hopkins University, SAIS, about how the balance of power in the Middle East is changing. After six months of on-off hostilities, Nasr argues, Iran’s core aims are unchanged - ending the US threat and securing economic relief. But Iran now looks to have the upper hand and is using its leverage from controlling the Strait of Hormuz to seek ever more far-reaching concessions from the superpower. <em>Clip: CTV</em></p><br><p><strong>Free links to read more on this topic:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5bdb67a5-5c53-46aa-8a04-d0480e700ee4?accessToken=zwAAAaCQXCpfkc9b22elXFNGqtOKBNBIDnAO5AE.MEYCIQCwCXFuKxf_BUhRPIzYwKGKNlGJZvK6CLXexapk4iPREAIhAKS2YiDpi_lr9GkHZQG0f_o7ZzxBISZp3qGn1BuYz-8Q&amp;segmentId=8978e9c0-1eba-4a83-da29-db2c2eaf2e61" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Will failure in Iran reshape how the US fights?</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/34299f83-9c49-4332-9d0f-d4f369d7a233?accessToken=zwAAAaCQXaT1kc80KZ-DnElDMtOdD9TzadeiMwE.MEUCIQC1mg4CD_nFNN18syJpdpG4b3KjAdogeXXHz1MTa8zA2AIgB7Ux-3pGeU-f3dsEuF0QvkScjfi7sZzV6o9XgRgBVtE&amp;segmentId=8978e9c0-1eba-4a83-da29-db2c2eaf2e61" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iran’s supreme leader elevates loyalists as he tightens grip</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1a7a6919-b056-4155-9520-1088564f7119?accessToken=zwAAAaCQYJPvkc8aemkZsFZBVdOVIBCIVk9xGQE.MEUCIB22ZXx-fMduRpvDTTADY5v3Pv_eUekUtErfj6WCnhuIAiEArIXCCo3kOy9ghDKIf6T3fX5vmLbv7y8Mffu_cKDsN-s&amp;segmentId=8978e9c0-1eba-4a83-da29-db2c2eaf2e61" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trump and the failure of the Fafo doctrine</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/862aa8f3-2e08-4dbc-ba7f-e85a69b25748?accessToken=zwAAAaCQX1rTkdOGKqjzLghNvNO6f-haabJXSAE.MEQCICUTFb01oFuuRamCrPxtx4ACR10cveXS62TLZauuQuChAiBw8wV0CGdH_bvc9qr5azQ6pdAFW73ObXhKugIHzkGaMA&amp;segmentId=8978e9c0-1eba-4a83-da29-db2c2eaf2e61" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brinkmanship in the Strait of Hormuz</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/25bc2df2-7ab8-4b1a-a30f-2fe4d47806ce?accessToken=zwAAAaCQ5TZJkc8lvC3yerhLGtOjDy_k1HgGzgE.MEUCIFGCx3Y2YAuoOVewqKfyGWAgxFaFYgq17SicadW956FvAiEA9d3yYvFDeVMdeOrRez9eiyZBPXsVbZONiX_FUNZC2rY&amp;segmentId=8978e9c0-1eba-4a83-da29-db2c2eaf2e61" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Israel’s campaign to make southern Lebanon ‘unliveable’&nbsp;</a></p><br><p>Subscribe to The Rachman Review wherever you get your podcasts - please listen, rate and subscribe.</p><br><p>Presented by Gideon Rachman.
