It's been 20 years since the US-led invasion of Iraq began. Can we say the world is any better off? Despite its official end over a decade ago, the war still casts a long shadow––the loss of countless Iraqi lives, the emergence of ISIS, and continued political turmoil and sectarian violence in the region. Moreover, the war significantly damaged the United States' credibility, making it difficult to gather global support against current threats such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On the GZERO World podcast, Ian Bremmer interviews US Senator Tammy Duckworth and NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel. Their firsthand experiences and perspectives offer a more profound comprehension of the intricate legacy of the Iraq War and its implications for international politics.

How do we meaningfully engage with Pacific peoples and issues across the region? We invite you to this Talanoa (shared conversation) with host Professor Jioji Ravulo and experts in geopolitics, climate and economic security.


Much attention is on the Pacific region as leading world powers seek to have influence and possible control on the access and development of Pacific Islands Counties and its Territories (PICT). The way in which this is occurring is shaped competing priorities and outcomes, underpinned by economic and financial incentives. 

Despite good will and intention, a key question remains: what are we doing to genuinely and sustainably support Pacific people across the region? This should be the central idea that shapes the way in which regional development occurs across the Pacific region. Our host and panel will critically reflect on this overarching question, with examples drawn from the past, present and possible futures.

The panel will also explore key questions including: Who benefits from having influence and control across the region and why? How are the key players held accountable for their varying impacts across the region?  What is the role and influence of Pacific people in shaping this dialogue?

Pacific influence

In this episode of the geopolitics podcast series, I bring to you an introduction to Nord Stream Pipelines, the reason they keep surfacing online since its sabotage in Sept. 2022 and the role Energy plays in Geopolitics.

NORD STREAM PIEPLINES WITH THE CONTEXT OF ENERGY IN GEOPOLITICS

"Women control a third of the world's global wealth today, and they make 70% of household consumption decisions. It is a segment that we all have to be focused on, because&nbsp;the success of the women as a whole is going to continue to drive economic prosperity for all of our countries around the world," says Ida Liu, Global Head of Citi Private Bank. In the latest episode of Living Beyond Borders, a podcast produced in partnership between GZERO and Citi Global Wealth Investments, Liu joins Eurasia Group’s Celeste Tambaro for a candid conversation about the reasons why increased participation of women in the workforce and in leadership creates greater growth for companies and economies. Women were disproportionately impacted by job loss during the pandemic, but there are indications that is changing as employment numbers climb back to levels seen before March 2020. Still, there is a long way to go toward equity, as Liu and Tambaro explain. This episode features:  Shari Friedman, Eurasia Group’s Managing Director of Climate and Sustainability (moderator) Ida Liu, Global Head of Citi Private Bank Celeste Tambaro, Managing Director, Financial Institutions, Eurasia Group

The economic power of women

China's President Xi Jinping traveled to Russia to meet Vladimir Putin, where they pledged "changes the likes of which we haven’t seen for 100 years", agreeing to deepen economic integration and challenge the hegemony of the US dollar by promoting the use of the yuan and other currencies in international trade.

On 20 March 2003, a US-led coalition invaded Iraq. Both as part of the Global War on Terror and with the intention to bring freedom and democracy to a country led by Saddam Hussein, the invasion quickly caused Iraq to fall into disarray, and ultimately into civil war. Since the invasion by coalition forces, the country has not only struggled with increased interference by Iran, but has also seen the rise, fall and resurgence of the Islamic State. 20 years after the invasion began, Renad Mansour, Director of the Iraq Initiative at Chatham House reflects upon the implications of the invasion not just for Iraq itself, but for global politics as a whole.

About the Speaker:

Dr. Renad Mansour is a senior research fellow and project director of the Iraq Initiative at Chatham House. He is also a senior research fellow at the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani. Mansour was previously a lecturer at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where he taught the international relations of the Middle East. He is a research fellow at the Cambridge Security Initiative based at Cambridge University, and from 2013 he held positions as Lecturer of International Studies and Supervisor at the Faculty of Politics, at Cambridge, where he also received his PhD. He is co-author of Once Upon a Time in Iraq, published by BBC Books/Penguin to accompany the BAFTA/Emmy winning BBC series.

Reflections on the Iraq War 20 Years On

According to Pat Cox, the war in Ukraine is set to intensify in the coming months. Its duration and outcome are indeterminate. Neither the Russian aggressor nor the Ukrainian defender is yet prepared to take any decisive step towards a cessation of hostilities. For both sides, establishing a premature peace would carry significant risks. Making peace would be infused with politically sensitive complexity, not only for Ukraine and Russia but also for Ukraine’s allies, and especially for the EU. In his address to the IIEA, Pat Cox suggests that underpinning a sustainable and just peace for the EU is a geo-strategic investment which is in the interest of both the EU and Ukraine. 

About the Speaker: 

Pat Cox serves as the President of the Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe in Lausanne, Switzerland. He is also the leader of the European Parliament’s Needs Assessment and Implementation Mission on Parliamentary Reform of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Previously, Pat Cox served as President of the European Parliament from 2002 to 2004, President of the ELDR Group in the European Parliament from 1998 to 2001, and President of European Movement International from 2005 to 2011.

Reflections on Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: One Year On

The lack of access to clean, drinkable water is a critical issue affecting billions of people across the globe. On the GZERO World podcast, Gilbert Houngbo, Chair of UN-Water and former Prime Minister of Togo, talks with host Ian Bremmer about global efforts to protect the world's most precious resource. Water is something many take for granted, but four billion people—half the world’s population—experience at least a month of severe water scarcity each year, Houngbo explains, and two billion others lack reliable water access all year round. To address the global water challenge, Houngbo calls for a multi-pronged approach of investment water-related infrastructure and technology, as well as good governance and policy. "As a global society, we have taken water for granted," Houngbo says, "Water has to become everyone's business." Host: Ian Bremmer Guest: Gilbert Houngbo, Chair of UN-Water
