Does China’s rise strengthen the existing international order or overturn it?  How we perceive and react to China’s rise will have dramatic consequences for Sino-American relations and China’s role in the world.

Please join Steve Clemons and Brian Till in a discussion about Till's new book, Conversations with Power, a series of interviews with former leaders from around the world.
 
Clinton thinks we might lose on climate change; Ehud Barak laments that his military career left him ill-prepared for politics and statesmanship, in which "human weaknesses, human needs" matter a great deal; and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, of Brazil, recalls the words of a former boss at the UN: "He said, 'Fernando, it's better not to know those who command the world.'"
