Gita Wirjawan analyzes the paradox of sustainability that stems from the high expectations placed upon developed and developing nations' environmental and economic progress. Focusing on the coal-powered electricity sector—which has underpinned most of the world’s electrification—he examines the time it took for Western European countries and the United States of America to modernize and the time it will take for developing economies, like those in Southeast Asia and India, to modernize while pursuing a quest for sustainable development. Gita also proposes potential solutions, including renewable energy and multilateralism, to mitigate the challenges of achieving modernization and sustainability through greater collaboration among countries. The focus is on how developing countries must concentrate on increasing their renewable energy production capability.

Evil and atrocity exist in this world. Therefore, the US must overcome its political dysfunction—which Karen Donfried aptly describes as a "soap opera"—before it loses the trust of its allies entirely and can only stand by as the world descends into chaos.

Karen Donfried is a Belfer Center Senior Fellow and Former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. She served as a special assistant to the President and Senior Director, European Affairs, National Security Council under Obama’s presidency. In 2003-05 during Bush’s presidency, she worked for the US Department of State's Policy Planning staff, handling the Europe portfolio.

In the 5th century BC, the Greek historian Thucydides chronicled the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), a conflict between Athens, a rising power, and Sparta, the established ruling power. Thucydides famously concluded that "it was the rise of Athens and the fear it instilled in Sparta that made war inevitable."

Today, 2,400 years later, we face a similar situation: will a rising China and an uneasy America follow the same path?

Can these two nations avoid falling into the 'Thucydides Trap'?

Graham Allison, former Director of Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, is a bestselling author of "Destined for War: America, China, and Thucydides's Trap" (2017). As the founding dean of the Harvard Kennedy School, Dr. Allison served as Assistant Secretary of Defense and advised defense secretaries from Reagan to Obama. He has received the Department of Defense's Distinguished Public Service Medal twice and serves on advisory boards for the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense.

The future remains a mystery, yet glimpses of it can be found in the echoes of the past.

In this episode, Endgame speaks with China historian Rana Mitter to gain insight into the minds of Chinese leaders. The discussion covers potential military action in Taiwan, the future of US-China relations, and the implications of the Belt and Road Initiative for the region and the world.

Professor Rana Mitter is an ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School. He was a Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China at the University of Oxford and the Director of the China Centre. Rana is also the author of several books, including “China’s Good War” (2020), “Forgotten Ally” (2013), “A Bitter Revolution” (2004), and “The Manchurian Myth” (2000).

No country is more fitting to discuss peace, diplomacy, and multilateralism than Mongolia. Despite being geographically and ideologically positioned between Russia and China, Mongolia has the means to stand up for itself and determine its own fate.

Endgame proudly presents Mongolia’s former President and Prime Minister, Elbegdorj Tsakhia. He was a central figure in the Mongolian Revolution of 1990—a revolution that transformed the country from communism to democracy without breaking a single window or shedding a single drop of blood.

In this conversation, President Elbegdorj and Gita cover a wide range of topics: how Mongolia maintains peace with its neighbors, why he believes that "war is no longer a tool to solve problems between countries," and the three main reasons behind the current global turmoil.

Chris Miller and Gita Wirjawan discuss the technological competition between the US and China, with a focus on the chip industry. The conversation highlights Europe's approach to tech, the impact of the US uniting its allies for military and technological containment of China, and the potential risks of China's response. Finally, they also touch on the importance of creating global stability and security in advancing chip technology as the backbone of modern society.

Professor Christopher Miller is an associate professor at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He is the author the bestselling book, "Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology” (2022) and serves on the Geopolitics Advisory Council at McKinsey &amp; Company.

Chips have been playing a central role in modern societies across the globe. From airplanes to smartphones; from defibrillators to factory robots. It is everywhere. Therefore, it is hard to imagine a world without it.

The advancement of chips—and thus humanity—will only be possible if, and only if, open science and international cooperation continue to persist. With the current geopolitical turmoil, who is going to pay the cost of chip innovation slow-down?

Adalah sebuah kemustahilan jika narasi bangsa dibangun sendirian. Maka Endgame kembali—dan akan terus—bereksperimen. 

Mempersembahkan seri terbaru kami, ‘Gamechangers’. Hadir sebagai suar bagi ide-ide narator bangsa yang gamechanging.

Kami percaya bahwa obat dari segala obat adalah pendidikan. Dan untuk memulainya, selalu bisa dilakukan dari rumah. Karena itulah seri ini kami buka dengan topik literasi anak usia dini.

Narator episode perdana ‘Gamechangers’, Watiek Ideo, adalah seorang penulis buku anak dan pemegang Anugerah Kebudayaan Indonesia 2023 yang memulai karir kepenulisannya lebih dari satu dekade yang lalu.

Saat ini, Ibu Watiek sudah menulis lebih dari 370 buku anak. Karyanya mungkin juga telah menemani ribuan keluarga Indonesia dan menyuburkan imajinasi tunas-tunas bangsa.

Namun yang menarik adalah: ratusan karya Bu Watiek ternyata berawal dari satu buku yang beliau tulis untuk anaknya sendiri.

Kisah beliau sekali lagi membuktikan bahwa semuanya bisa dimulai dari rumah.

Berminat menjadi pemimpin visioner berikutnya?

A study by the V-Dem Institute revealed that by 2023, 71% of the world's population was living under authoritarian regimes, marking a 48% increase in just a decade since 2013.

According to senior journalist and 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa, this trend is not a coincidence. She believes that leaders in information technology must be held accountable because the exploitation of lies, hatred, and shallow thinking on social media is at the core of today's democratic crises.

Maria is the founder of Rappler, an independent news channel established in 2012 in the Philippines to champion press freedom as a cornerstone of democracy. Among her notable works are "How to Stand Up to a Dictator: The Fight for Our Future" (2022), "From Bin Laden to Facebook: 10 Days of Abduction, 10 Years of Terrorism" (2013), and "Seeds of Terror: An Eyewitness Account of Al-Qaeda's Newest Center" (2003).
