Prof. Jeremy Garlick, the director of Jan Masaryk Centre for International Studies, was a host of the Horizon podcast.

In the episode, we delve into China’s expanding role in the Global South and its implications for Europe. Together with Associate Professor Jeremy Garlick, we explore concerns raised by European and American officials about China’s deepening relationships in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Is China creating a ‚debt trap‘ through its economic policies, or is it paving the way for mutual development? We also discuss the impact of the Belt and Road Initiative on Europe, particularly its growing presence in Hungary and the Balkans. Amidst allegations of environmental and labor exploitation, how does Europe’s approach to governance and sustainability compare? Tune in for an insightful discussion with Jeremy Garlick on what China’s rise means for Europe and the world.
