China’s hegemonic ambitions follow a familiar historical pattern of rulers seeking to concentrate power. In the case of Xi Jinping’s China, this has led to an intensifying clash between democracies and autocracies. Can a better understanding of these dynamics equip the United States with the knowledge needed to win the great power competition with China? Please join Hudson Senior Fellow Nury Turkel for a conversation with Dr. Anders Corr on his book “The Concentration of Power: Institutionalization, Hierarchy and Hegemony,” and its relevance to contemporary geopolitics.
