- Federico Donelli, Associate Professor at the University of Trieste and Research Fellow at the Wilson Center, joins The Horn podcast to analyze shifting Red Sea geopolitics with host Alan.
- The episode examines how great and middle powers are competing for influence in the Red Sea, framing the contest as ongoing rather than easing, and discusses what stability looks like for the strategically vital waterway.
Why it matters: The Red Sea is a critical corridor for global shipping and military positioning, and the episode frames great-power competition there as intensifying rather than cooling — meaning influence struggles over the waterway are likely to continue shaping regional alignments and trade security.
