The editor of Newsweek International since 2001, Fareed Zakaria oversees the magazine’s eight editions in Asia, Latin America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. His column, on subjects ranging from terrorism, national security and America’s role in the world to the global economy and the rise of China and India, appears in Newsweek, Newsweek International and The Washington Post. His international best seller, The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad, explains how democracy has changed every aspect of our lives and his most recent book, The Post-American World, was published earlier this month.

On May 7, Zakaria sat down for a discussion with Foreign Affairs editor James F. Hoge, Jr. at the 92nd Street Y. In the video clip above, they discuss international perceptions of America, “anti-Americanism” and our dysfunctional political system.
