Sarang Shidore on the Global South and the U.S.-Philippines Alliance

On this week's episode of Security Dilemma, John Allen Gay and A.J. Manuzzi interview Sarang Shidore, the director of the Global South Program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Our conversation discussed whether interests, ideology, or both drive the policies of some Global South states, whether China is part of the Global South, and what a better approach to the U.S.-Philippines alliance might look like.
