Just as the Russia-Ukraine crisis first devolved, and only weeks before the elections in the Philippines, Walden Bello, Jayati Ghosh, and Vishwas Satgar came together with Greg Albo of the Socialist Register to discuss the South China Sea, Ukraine, NATO, and American bellicosity.
They discuss their contributions to “New Polarizations, Old Contradictions: The Crisis of Centrism” — the final volume of the Socialist Register to have been shaped by the late Leo Panitch.
Walden Bello’s crucial perspective on the subject of vaccine nationalism and the growing US-China divide provides additional macro-level dimension to the discussion. Vishwas Satgar brings his critical understanding of “Epidemiological Neoliberalism in South Africa” into conversation with Jayati Ghosh’s vital work on “Pandemic Polarizations” in India.
Recorded online, 27 February 2022.
