With well over 870,000 confirmed infections and 40,000 deaths worldwide, COVID-19, the disease caused by the fast-spreading new coronavirus, has caused global havoc.
Early in my life I was drawn to power to impose my ideas onto the world. It was only natural to believe leaders were able to change organizations, businesses or even geopolitics to their whim. But I found my implicit sense of power was entirely wrong. There is a tradeoff between authority and influence. Leadership becomes a trap where it is limited in its options by those who are supposedly led. Managers make concessions to their workers to maintain a productive atmosphere.
In this week's Rio Bravo Podcast, we talked with the writer Moisés Naím, one of the most read authors of today and a member of Carnegie Endowment. At the beginning of this decade, Naim published the book "O fim do poder" (The end of power), a work that addresses how new and multiple powers are changing traditional models in politics, business and the media. Since the book's release, a series of events have, on one hand, pointed to the acceleration of the transience of power and, on the other, marked the rise of new leaderships, beyond traditional politics and business. In the conversation, the writer comments on the consequences of these transformations in an environment that is increasingly hostile and complex. Speaking about the role of leaders in the coronavirus case, Moisés Naím says: "It is a matter that involves science, and it is better that doctors, statisticians and epidemiologists take care of it; and politicians should support scientists in this". The interview is in English. (Translated from original text).

This week, The Guardian reported that an encrypted message from a number used by Saudi royal Mohammed bin Salman allegedly contained a malicious file that infiltrated the cellphone of Amazon head Jeff Bezos. Now, United Nations experts are demanding that the United States investigate the alleged hack. This allegation comes as world leaders, including President Donald Trump, met in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. And meanwhile, the leadership crisis in Venezuela continues. Secret service agents raided the offices of opposition leader Juan Guaidó, as the Trump administration leveled additional sanctions against the current government of President Nicolás Maduro. Plus, Prince Harry departs the United Kingdom.
Populism is more than a political buzzword – it is a topic of highest sociopolitical relevance as it will form our society for years to come. We sat down with Moisés Naím to dig deeper.
How can Australian universities ensure that any partnerships they have with Chinese universities don't also involve the Chinese military? They use the Chinese Defence University Tracker! Why is Latin America imploding and what happens after the protests there and in Hong Kong die down? What happens next? The bin chicken is considered to be a pest to most Australians but not to the Ancient Egyptians. For them they were so much more. Right now it seems as if most of the world has taken to the streets to protest.

On Thursday, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was indicted on bribery, fraud and breach of trust charges.
It comes as the U.S. faces condemnation for changing its policy on the legality of Israeli settlements. Netanyahu’s main opponent, Benny Gantz, also said he was unable to form a government, and the country could be headed for a third election in a single year.
Amnesty International says that over 100 people have been killed in Iran, following country-wide unrest over increases in fuel prices. Reporting was not immediately available to corroborate the death toll — partially because the internet has been mostly shut down in Iran.
Meanwhile, at least six people have been killed in Bolivia as the country’s political crisis continues.
We unpack those headlines, and discuss how the impeachment inquiry is affecting American foreign policy, on this week’s global News Roundup.
Growing protests are raging across South America. From Ecuador to Bolivia to Venezuela to Chile, the region is experiencing the largest outbreak of unrest in decades.
What is prompting these protests? Why are they happening now? And what does it say about leadership in the region? To help us better understand, Moisés Naím joined Jen in the World Unpacked studio.
Go deeper: In a recent article for Foreign Affairs, Moisés explains why Latin America was primed to explode.
Moisés Naím concluded that protests worldwide are just manifestations of the failure of established political parties. But democracies also cannot be just based on NGO's. And the solution to this is clearly not more populism.

While it may seem like royal baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was the only news of note from around the globe this week, of course, that wasn’t the case.
Venezuela has been in crisis for over two years and created one of the largest refugee migrations in the region, displacing 2.3 million people. How can national, regional and global actors help resolve Venezuela’s economic and social crisis?
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States likes to go against the grain. Born into a peasant family in Uruguay, Luis Almagro grew up to be a rather undiplomatic diplomat. The nemesis of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, he’s also a vegetarian, a sportsman, and he’s become a leftist politician whose defense of democracy has made him a pariah with the apologists of South America’s authoritarian regimes

President Trump was in Helsinki this week, and he made headlines around the world for his lack of pushback on Vladimir Putin’s assertion that Russia did not meddle in American elections. Trump subsequently walked it back, saying he misspoke during the conference.

Lots of cross-trends are buffeting the global scene at the moment: populism, nationalism, anti-globalization. Many of these come together in the form of Trump. But beneath these issues are other longer term shifts: in technology, demographics, and economy inequality. Moisés Naím, distinguished fellow at the Carnegie Endowment, is the chief international columnist for El País and La Repubblica and the author of the bestselling The End of Power. He spoke to Tom Carver about these global challenges and why Trump ultimately makes him feel optimistic about America.
