b"Small states like Qatar, Ireland, Singapore, Jordan, and Botswana are thriving in our disordered world. They\\u2019re smart, agile, and are implementing novel solutions to the challenges of the 21st\\u202fcentury. So what can the globe learn from them?\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nIn part 2 of his conversation with Dr Armen Sarkissian - Armenia\\u2019s former president and prime minister \\u2013 Jason discusses Armen\\u2019s book, \\u2018The Small States Club: How Small Smart Powers Can Save the World\\u2019. They look at how: 1) successful small states could use their growing economic power to promote stability, 2) how Armenia could leverage its most unique strategic resource, its diaspora, and 3) why bringing together small states into an international club \\u2013 the S20 \\u2013 could actually make a big difference in helping to Order the Disorder.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nIn the Ordering the Disorder segment, Jason and Alex discuss whether we\\u2019re in a world where smallness is an asset, how NATO and the EU should respond to Armenia\\u2019s geopolitical tilt towards the West, and whether the S20 could present novel ways to Order the Disorder.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSubscribe to our Substack: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWebsite: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\xa0\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nOrderers, If you are moved to help the plight of the refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh we recommend you donate to 'The Tumo Foundation 501(c)3' for Artsakh Teens here: https://armenia.tumo.org/t4at/\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nGet Dr Armen Sarkissian\\u2019s book The Small States Club: How Small Smart Powers Can Save the World - https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/the-small-states-club/\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nArmenia\\u2019s Westward shift and the new aid package: https://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/International/Armenias-Shift-West-Draws-Ire-from-Moscow-and-Baku.html\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nFrom the Washington Post: A cry for the refugees of emptied Nagorno-Karabakh: \\u2018We are nobody\\u2019: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/03/11/david-ignatius-nagorno-karabakh-refugees-azerbaijan-enclave/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nOn the Mayhem in the Georgian Parliament: https://twitter.com/OCMediaorg/status/1779820924734206064\\xa0\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
