About this listen
In this episode of The Global Signal, we sit down with Dr. Paul Poast, Associate Professor of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Chicago, to explore the evolving dynamics of global order, alliance politics, and the lessons history offers for contemporary international cooperation. Dr. Poast, a Senior Nonresident Fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and a Foreign Affairs Columnist for World Politics Review, brings his expertise on international security, military alliances, and the economic dimensions of war to our conversation.
We discuss how shifting U.S. foreign policy priorities are reshaping global alliances and security landscapes and examine NATO’s role in supporting Ukraine and sustaining long-term regional stability. Drawing on his recent book Wheat at War, Dr. Poast also unpacks how the Allies coordinated economic resources during the First World War, the emergence of innovative supranational institutions under extreme pressure, and the lessons this history holds for managing critical supply chains and global crises today.
