## Resource

What is America’s role in a dramatically changing world? How does the health of our democracy impact other nations? In this episode we hear a rich mix of ideas in a conversation with podcaster, commentator, and former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor  Ben Rhodes . “Young people today are going to have to imagine a new US government and a new set of international institutions,” says Ben. A future administration “will have to renegotiate the terms of a new international order.” This hour-long episode is a recording of a live event held on May 22 in Washington D.C., produced by the Democracy Group and The McCourtney Institute. “How Do We Fix It?” is one of eighteen network members of  Democracy Group , which features podcasts about civic engagement, civil discourse and the future of our democracy. Ben Rhodes is cohost of the foreign policy podcast, “ Pod Save the World ”. He served as Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under President Obama. With former Biden advisor Jake Sullivan, Rhodes the co-chair of National Security Action, a political NGO. He is the author of two books: “After the Fall”, and “The World As It Is.” This Democracy Group recording is cohosted by  Kamy Akhavan , who leads the Center for the Political Future at the University of Southern California, and  Stephanie Gerber Wilson , host and producer of the podcast/column “Freedom Over Fascism”.  Hosted on Acast.
