❇️ My colleague @Hansong_Li, member of the @gpolthought @Harvard, to which we both belong, has conducted a timely and thoughtful interview with Robert Zoellick on the @Worldviews_org.
The conversation 🗣️ revisits the idea of a “world of stakeholders” in an age of fragmentation, zero-sum politics, geopolitical rivalry, and uncertainty about the future of #BrettonWoods, the @wto, the @WorldBank, and the @IMFNews.
A very valuable discussion on #US 🇺🇸– #China 🇨🇳 relations, free trade, global governance, #MAGAisation, and the changing meaning of international responsibility in a divided world.
Worth listening to for anyone interested in global political thought, international order, and the future of coexistence and cooperation. 🌐📚🤝

2/2 Themes include freedom (as independence), universal & fundamental rights, chattel slavery, common law, the work of John Pocock, the global turn, contextualism, liberty in international relations, the battle & excavation of ideas, the possibilities & perils of AI, & much more!
ALT The abstract: In this discussion article Quentin Skinner responds to a wide range of questions centred primarily on the arguments of his Liberty as Independence: The Making and Unmaking of a Political Ideal (2025). Themes that feature in this dialogue include the history and theory of freedom, universal and fundamental rights, chattel slavery and common law, the use of sermons and novels as sources, the iconography of Nanine Vallain’s La Liberté, and a move away from the label ‘neo-Roman’. Alongside these considerations, reflections are also offered on the work of John Pocock, the global turn and contextualism, freedom in international relations, the battle and excavation of ideas, and the possibilities as well as perils of advancing technology, particularly artificial intelligence.
