The Future of the U.S, China, Russia and India. with Graham Hutchings, Anand Menon, Desmond King In this introductory evening to a 4-part Global Summit, How To Academy and Oxford Analytica will be focusing on the future of the Great Powers.

Do we now have few 'Great' powers and several 'big' ones, complicating the diplomatic landscape at a time of major global challenges?
