Woldemariam Featured in Great Decisions Documentary
Michael Woldemariam, Associate Professor of International Relations at the Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, features in a new documentary, titled “Red Sea Rivalries: A Conflict of Interests”, in the series entitled, “Great Decisions in Foreign Policy,” produced by the Foreign Policy Association and broadcast on various PBS stations.
This documentary is titled, “Red Sea Rivalries: A Conflict of Interest,” and it examines the conflict in the Red Sea region – “a region where the world’s great powers can cooperate to create stability or allow deepening rivalries to explode into conflict. More than one-tenth of global trade passes through a strait just 20 miles wide at the southern entrance to the Red Sea.”
