Fresh voices from the Global South lead DW's 'Global Eyes'
DW's international affairs podcast Global Eyes is back with new hosts Waslat Hasrat-Nazimi and Shani Rozanes, exploring the shifting world order with Global South perspectives on power, security and regional dynamics.
With the tagline 'A different perspective on geopolitics!', Global Eyes explores how the global order is evolving beyond the traditional West-centric lens. Each 30-minute, monthly episode dives into key international developments with a particular focus on the Global South's role in shaping the future. What does India's rise mean for the world? Where does Europe stand in a multipolar era? And how are security concerns redefined across continents?
Designed for globally minded, English-speaking audiences — especially younger, well-educated listeners across India and the South Asian diaspora — Global Eyes offers context-rich insights and accessible analysis on security, geopolitics, and the evolving role of the Global South in a changing world.
Debarati Guha, Director Programs for Asia, says: "With its new season, Global Eyes takes on a broader, more inclusive perspective on international affairs. Hosted by Waslat Hasrat-Nazimi and Shani Rozanes, the podcast brings fresh voices and lived experience from the Global South into the conversation – offering well-informed insights into the shifting dynamics of global power."
"The news may show what feels like isolated events, but what may seem like separate crises are often part of the same global story," podcast hosts Waslat and Shani explain. "We're here to connect the dots behind the headlines. We challenge the old lens of reporting by putting marginalized perspectives at the center. Global Eyes brings in voices from the Global South, not as an afterthought, but as a central part of understanding the new world order."
