let me give it a specific example of how it played out during the covid era. so united states covid-19 assistance was also transmitted through the established development assistance channels. it relied on the metric for determining the development aid not to mention it. remember development aid is always, political. development aid in the context of the united states was situated on the basis of placing faith in democracies, placing faith in a market economy. it was leading to this kind of metrics. because humanitarian assistance architecture began resembling or was folded under the development assistance architecture, she mentioned a joined the covid era, was also administered through development channels. we find very, very strong relationship between where development assistance with, covid-19 assistance followed. the united states -- also had a lot to do with that. again unfortunately some of the aid did not reach the heirs that office can reach come again followed development channel. you ask community and eight has become an tethered to the same consider

when it comes to how it played out during the covid era. we did see that beijing, the government, the government agencies were the main actors overseeing both decisions and implementation of covid-19 assistance and later the distributions of vaccine. again, very different from how aid was distributed in the united states humanitarian infrastructure. so a lot of those aid packages were state to state, in bilateral fashion. as a side note, we did a lot of novel data gathering, collected information on humanitarian aid transfers from china, from the united states, from russia. one of the strongest findings that emerged out of all of this analysis is that covid-19 aid went to the countries that has projects with china. it is consistent, in china's thinking, humanitarian assistance is part and parcel in its thinking about development, development is linked to security and how it's beneficial back to china. the relationship was stronger when it comes to those countries who do not recognize day one, versus china, it was overriding some of what we

when it comes to, you know, this, how it played out during the covid era. right. so a, we do we did see that beijing, the government and the government agencies were the main actors overseeing in both decisions and implementation of covid 19 assistance and later the distributions of vaccine. again, very, very different from how aid was distributed in the context of united states humanitarian infrastructure. so a lot of those aid packages were state to state in bilateral fashion on the as a side note. so we did a lot of novel data gathering. we systematically collected information on humanitarian aid transfers from china, from the united states, from russia. we did both qualitative and quantitative analysis. and one of the strongest findings that emerged out of all of this analysis is that covid 19 aid went to the countries that had very projects with china. so again, it's kind of it's consistent that in china's thinking humanity oriented assistance is an important piece and parcel of its thinking about development. development is linked to peace and security and h

carmona, the threat of covid-19 is not entirely gone. more than 2,000 americans died from the virus in the last month. and that's not the only public health threat that officials are facing. kansas is currently dealing with one of the largest recorded tuberculosis outbreaks in u.s. history. - we've already seen other viruses like the bird flu and monkeypox emerge. how well-prepared is the united states today to deal with the next deadly virus? and what do you advise the trump administration to do in preparation? - okay, first and foremost, i think we are better prepared today. as i mentioned to you early on, the institutional memory of how to deal with the pandemic was gone. there were few people alive in a leadership position that remember 1918. but we've built on that. there is a guidebook that the federal government has that you can get at fema.gov or dhs.gov, and it's called a national response framework. and it's an outline that how our nation deals with any and all threats to the health, safety, and security of the nation where a c

i think that we saw that in the covid case with all of the vaccine competition. i was wondering and i would open the floor for q&a but i wanted to take the advantage of the first question. how we also seen cases of cooperation and i'm thinking maybe covid but maybe also in afghanistan where there was a time where the three great power wearing much more color interaction on some specific cases. i wanted to launch that as kind of if we move beyond that kind of competition narrative of other cases of cooperation or are they functioning at best -- >> absolute great question. yes. so, as a regulation scholar, i do not see this as the opposite in spirit in fact, sometimes happening through competition. cooperation simply coordinating policies in an effort to achieve a shared goal. and, so, in the book, we do talk about how cooperation possible even at the height of the competition to just remind you during the cold war era, the united states and soviet scientists ended up over the polio vaccine into this day the polio vaccination campaign around the world and africa, a
