Before we begin today's episode, I want to let you know that we will be doing something special to mark the end of the year.

The President's inbox will be answering questions from you in a special holiday mailback.

If you have a foreign policy question you want answered, now is your chance.

You can submit your questions by emailing us at tPI at cfr.org, preferably using the

voice memo app on your phone, by tagging us on social media at CFR underscore org, or by leaving a voicemail

at 301-284-0325. We will try to answer as many questions as possible, and we may even play your

recording on the show. You can find all of these details about submitting a question in the show

notes for today's episode on cfr.org.

Welcome to the president's inbox, a CFR podcast about the foreign policy challenges facing the United States.

I'm Jim Lindsay, Director of Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.

This week's topic is the anti-globalization backlash.

With me to discuss the reasons for the rise of anti-globalism in Western countries

and its consequences for world order is Peter Trubowitz. Peter is a professor of international relations and the director

of the Phelan U.S. Center at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is also an

associate fellow at Chatham House. Peter is the co-author of the new book Geopolitics and Democracy,

the Western Liberal Order from Foundation to Fracture.

He and his co-author Brian Brugoon have also written a related piece, Make the Center Vital

Again for Foreign Affairs. Peter, thanks for being patient during that long introduction

and for joining me on the president's

inbox.

Jim, great to be with you.

Thanks very much for the invitation.
