Through his role as the Brzezinski Chair and the former Director of the Middle East Program, Dr. Alterman routinely tackled broad, geostrategic questions in the podcast, Babel: Translating the Middle East. He explored the implications of the global energy transition for China, the United States, and our partners. He has also looked at multipolarity and great power competition in the Middle East, producing three scripted miniseries on U.S., Russian, and Chinese interests, and engagement with the region.
