Measuring Risk explores why resilience, not dominance or growth, is the key measure of global outcomes. In conversation with Jacob Shapiro, Dr. Parag Khanna discusses how shocks — from climate stress and political instability to financial panic — affect states, systems, and societies. From Venezuela and Iran to Greenland’s strategic role, the conversation examines how states and systems absorb disruption, adapt under pressure, and recover as shocks compound — offering a systems-level view of geopolitical risk in an era of constant change.
