Engage at the Bush Center, presented by Highland Capital Management
The 2019 Highland Capital Lecture brought together global political experts Ian Bremmer and Niall Ferguson to discuss the most urgent geopolitical challenges of the day. Dana Perino of Fox News Channel moderated the discussion, which delved into the panelists’ unique perspectives on today’s global hot spots, including China, Russia, North Korea, and the Middle East.
