The Trump administration's 2017 National Security Strategy gave an unequivocal assessment that the world has entered an era of outright geostrategic competition between “those who favour repressive systems and those who favour free societies”. But will countries want to hear about the benefits of democracy from a White House that appears more enamoured with authoritarian "strongmen" than liberal democratic values? And would a new president in 2020 make any difference? Macquarie University lecturer Dr Lavina Lee joins the podcast to discuss her new report on these issues.
2020Vision follows the race for the White House in the 2020 US presidential election. Produced by the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, and hosted by Drew Sheldrick, it features in-house experts and special guests from the fields of US politics, foreign policy and media.
