In a world seemingly mired in disinformation and the minutiae of partisan politics, much of the public’s attention is taken up by what we are against—however “we” is defined. As new and returning governments take shape after a year of historic elections where half of the world’s democracies went to the polls, we at the WQ think it’s important to have a conversation about what we are for. Thus, we turned to some of the world’s most respected global leaders and foreign policy thinkers to share the narratives that have helped guide them and the world through past times of challenge, and which can inspire us as we seek a brighter, more peaceful and prosperous future.
