The global order is undergoing significant transformations. With Donald Trump's return to the political stage, escalating US-China tensions, and the rising influence of assertive middle powers, international affairs are more fragmented and unpredictable than ever. This episode explores how great powers are redefining their strategies, how middle players are recalibrating their roles, and what this means for global governance, diplomacy, and economic policy.
