  • Poor production quality

    Important topic discussion by experts ruined by poor sound production, background email bings and shuffling noises.

  • Ignoring the hard topics and lacking depth now. Degraded offerings.

    This used to be a go to for geopolitical analysis but sadly no more. Lack of depth in analysis and completely ignoring the major global events such as a European war and the challenges to the balance of power in the Indo- Pacific region. These events do not exist in the Rane worldview. Better off accessing podcasts from reputable news outlets or geopolitical analysts who have interests in actual global politics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Indonesia’s Interest In Israel-Gaza
Q: What do you think the outlook is for Indonesian or Israeli normalization? And what would that process look like?
Normalization seems far away but is a possibility if a multinational force materializes with a UN mandate and if no crises occur during deployment.
Indonesia’s Interest In Israel-Gaza
Q: Can you start by providing a background into Indonesia's role so far as it relates to the Israel-Gaza conflict?
The role so far has been minimal, but Indonesia is a strong candidate to provide troops for a UN-sponsored humanitarian mission to stabilize Gaza.
Political Instability in South Asia
Q: What does the future of political mobilization look like in South Asia?
Instability is likely to remain in South Asia, but there is increasing pressure for greater accountability and reform in political institutions.
Political Instability in South Asia
Q: What has the economic environment looked like across South Asian nations in the past few years?
Weak economies plagued by corruption and unemployment have driven unrest across South Asia, influenced by conditions requiring IMF bailouts.
Political Instability in South Asia
Q: Can you paint a picture of what this has looked like in each nation?
Frustration with the ruling elite reflects systemic fragility across South Asia, resulting in protests driven by dissatisfaction with political continuity.
