The world seems full of problems. Soaring inflation, food and fuel crises, war, inequality. But focusing exclusively on what's going wrong can be tiresome. The question is: How do we fix these problems? FP's Global Reboot, a podcast in partnership with the Doha Forum, examines grand solutions—many of which first emerged in the pages of Foreign Policy.

Political scientist Hélène Landemore, for example, has a plan for rebooting democracy. Some of her ideas may sound radical, but you'll be surprised to learn that countries are already adopting them. FP columnist Adam Tooze makes the case that financial capital is already beginning to curb climate change. Only politics can get in the way. Ertharin Cousin, who once ran the World Food Program, argues that countries need to make access to food a vital component of their foreign policies. And Mark Malloch-Brown, who has held senior roles at the World Bank and the United Nations, says we need to reform global institutions if we hope to tackle the global south's looming debt crisis.

Solutions exist. Read on for some of them. And find Global Reboot in audio, wherever you get your podcasts.—Ravi Agrawal



New and Noteworthy

  • Intervention or Restraint: The controversy over Nancy Pelosi's upcoming trip to Taiwan highlights the contradictions of U.S. policy toward the island. In the latest edition of It's Debatable, our columnists disagree about what the Pelosi Taiwan uproar means for U.S. China Policy.
  • What to do after a nuclear attack: In July, the city of New York released a short video, seemingly out of the blue, informing residents on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. Even as the nature of global security changes with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, experts and government officials agree that the likelihood of Moscow following through with its periodic nuclear saber is basically zero.⁠ But in the exceptionally unlikely event that the United States was to come under attack, you can read about how individuals should respond and what governments might have planned here.
  • How to fix the world's food crisis: Ukraine and Russia are among the world's biggest producers of wheat, corn, and potatoes. Russia's war in Ukraine has meant that for much of this year, supplies from those two countries have been taken off global markets. Ertharin Cousin, the former chief of the World Food Program, outlines a step-by-step plan to feed a warring and warming planet.
