- Watch the Recording Here!
“Conventional rhetoric has described the current global landscape as a strategic competition
between three “great powers”. What has developed is something quite different. There
is no question that these three nations are interacting in ways that will determine
the future shape of the global security, economic and information architecture. The
question is, are they all “great” and if so, why? To fully understand this, we must
move “beyond the rhetoric” in our discussion of great power competition.”
- General Hooper
