The World Next Week podcast is up. Bob McMahon and I sat down to discuss the European debt crisis; the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board of governors meeting on Iran; the North American leaders’ summit; and surprising political changes in Myanmar.
The highlights:
The New York Times discusses the spread of the European debt crisis to Italy, and Reuters reports that the crisis is lowering the economic growth outlook for developing economies. The Guardian has the details on how European countries are pushing for tougher sanctions on Iran, and Foreign Policy argues that once again Iran is in the world’s crosshairs. The Globe and Mail describes the upcoming North American leaders’ summit, and USA Today explains how this coincides with a group of bilateral meetings. The Wall Street Journal comments on the possibility of Myanmar chairing ASEAN even in light of human rights abuses, and the Washington Post details the political liberalization within Myanmar.
