GREAT DECISIONS IN FOREIGN POLICY: Red Sea Rivalries: A Conflict Of Interests

Airs Thursday, May 28, 2020 at 11:30 p.m. on KPBS TV + Stream on YouTube

More than one-tenth of global trade passes through a strait just 20 miles wide at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. GREAT DECISIONS examines a region where the world’s great powers can cooperate to create stability — or allow deepening rivalries to explode into conflict. Narrated by David Strathair.
