Charles Fishman on "The Big Thirst" and a Panel of Scholars on Power: Definitions and Origins

We hear an episode of The Scholar's Circle with host Maria Armoudian.

First, how water has shaped our past and how new water challenges are shaping the future. We talk with Charles Fishman author of The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water.

Later, on the scholars' panel. New global developments are changing the structures and holders of power. With new technology and greater interconnectedness, states are losing power and non-state actors are gaining power. But what exactly does it mean to have power? And where exactly does power come from?  Panelists are Giulio M. Gallarotti, Gov't, Wesleyan Univ.; Joseph S. Nye Jr. Harvard's Kennedy School of Gov't; and Erica Chenoweth, Gov't, Wesleyan Univ.
