The Western Bubble

Balder Hageraats & Dario Hasenstab

The West is suffering from the "Western Bubble" and as a result, the world suffers from it as well. In this podcast, Balder Hageraats and Dario Hasenstab examine how Western countries are increasingly lost in their own delusions on the world stage and what must be done to bring them back to reality. Understanding and acknowledging this phenomenon is crucial. It allows both Western and non-Western actors to much better navigate the current era of global uncertainty. 🎙️ What we analyse: • Geopolitics & Global Power Shifts • Human Rights & Development Aid • Institutional Decline & Foreign Policy All analysed strictly through the lens of the Western Bubble. Executive Producer: Stefani Obradovic.
