Zack Cooper is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he studies US strategy in Asia, including alliance dynamics and US-China competition. He also teaches at Georgetown University and Princeton University, codirects the Alliance for Securing Democracy, and cohosts the “Net Assessment” podcast. Dr. Cooper is currently writing a book that explains how to predict the future path of US-China military competition by examining how militaries change during power shifts.
He joined me to how US-China competition is evolving, what Western alliances must do to keep up with this evolution, and how well the U.S. military is preparing for the next war.
I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
