PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NuScale Power today announced that it has finalized an agreement with Sarens USA to support deployment of its groundbreaking small modular reactor (SMR) and provide a cash investment in NuScale.

Sarens USA, the global leader in crane rental services, heavy lifting, and engineered transport, will provide both heavy crane supply for construction as well as engineering, and transportation planning, and will be the key heavy haul provider that gets the NuScale Power Module™ from the factory to the first site. As part of the agreement, Sarens will provide a long-term investment in NuScale, signaling a growing commitment from a major global strategic player as an investment partner. NuScale’s exclusive engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract partner and majority investor, Fluor Corporation, will also utilize Sarens for construction site cranes. Sarens is also positioned to provide additional support to both NuScale and Fluor.

Sarens will also be supporting NuScale Power Module™ assembly work for the development of the NuScale power plant for the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) Carbon Free Power Project (CFPP). Under the scope of the agreement, work with Sarens will begin over the next six months.

“We are proud to collaborate with and welcome investment from Sarens, yet another great global company that recognizes the value of our groundbreaking technology,” said NuScale Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Hopkins. “Sarens’ expertise in engineering, heavy haul and heavy lifting will be invaluable as we work towards the construction phase of our first plant in Idaho and begin to build our revolutionary power plant technology. We look forward to working with them in this exciting new venture towards the commercialization of America’s first SMR.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Oilfield Communications Market by Component, Communication Network (VSAT Communication Network, Fiber Optic-based Communication Network, Microwave Communication Network), Field Site, Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Oilfield Communications Market Size Grew from USD 3.4 Billion in 2020 to USD 4.5 Billion by 2025, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (Cagr) of 5.5% During the Forecast Period

Various factors such as increasing investments in enhancing network infrastructure, growing demand from oil and gas operators to scale the production of mature oilfields, and rising technological advancements for communication across oilfields are expected to drive the adoption of the oilfield communications market.

Businesses providing oilfield communications solutions and services are expected to witness a significant decline in their growth for a short span of time. The oil and gas industry is also facing a crisis due to an oil price war. The pandemic might result in inefficient companies facing liquidity crisis situations, healthier companies diversifying their businesses and changing their business models, and companies facing the shortage of skilled workforce when the market rebounds due to layoffs during the lockdown.

The services segment to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period

The oilfield communications market is segmented on the basis of components, such as solutions and services. The services segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the growing need for oil and gas companies to save time and money during exploration, drilling, and production operations.

The microwave communication network segment to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The oilfield communications market by communication network has been segmented into VSAT communication network, TETRA network, cellular communication network, fiber optic-based communication network, and microwave communication network. The microwave communication network segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to its ability to operate without any fiber-optic infrastructure and the relative ease of setting up a wireless network.

The midstream application segment to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The oilfield communications market is segmented on the basis of application into upstream, midstream, and downstream. As onshore sites need periodic inspections to obtain early detection of events that might cause pipeline failure or create hazardous conditions, it is important to protect those pipelines from leaks and corrosion to protect the environment as well as keep the public safe from the occurrence of any hazardous condition. This leads to the adoption of oilfield communications solutions for onshore field sites.

Among field site, the offshore segment to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period

The oilfield communications market is segmented on the basis of field site into onshore and offshore. With the global lockdown and work-from-home practice picking up as need of the hour, companies are moving to the cloud-based infrastructure for managing and monitoring customer data and analyzing the supply chain process. There will be continuous growth in the demand for offshore infrastructure services and spending on specialized software, communications equipment, and telecom services.

Among regions, Middle East and Africa (MEA) to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

MEA has witnessed the advanced and dynamic adoption of new technologies and is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the increasing number of oil refineries and numerous exploration activities across the region.

The report includes the study of key players offering oilfield communications solutions and services. It profiles major vendors in the global oilfield communications market.

The major vendors in the global oilfield communications market are Huawei (China), Siemens (Germany), Hitachi ABB Power Grids (Switzerland), Speedcast (Australia), Weatherford (US), Ceragon (US), RigNet (US), Hughes (US), Redline Communications (Canada), MR Control Systems (Canada), Tait Communications (New Zealand), Honeywell (US), Intel (US), GE Digital (US), PTC (US), Commtel (India), MoStar Communications (US), DAMM Cellular Systems (Denmark), BlueJeans (US), Nesh (US), Sensia (US), Ondaka (US), Sensalytx (UK), and WellAware (US).

Free over-the-air firmware upgrade for G7c cloud-connected wearables includes proactive Bluetooth-based close contact detection with improved industrial contact tracing

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#connectedsafety--Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX.V: BLN), a global leader of gas detection and connected safety solutions, has expanded the availability of its new G7 close contact detection firmware to North American and international markets. Previously launched in October across Europe, this new firmware makes Blackline’s G7c the industry’s first and only cloud-connected gas monitor to integrate close contact detection, a feature that provides users with a real-time notification when they enter into close proximity with other G7c users.

As industrial businesses continue to face stringent safety regulations and social distancing guidelines due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the new close contact detection feature helps G7c users be mindful of their proximity with colleagues to support social distancing regulations. Using Bluetooth technology to determine the distance between personnel, G7c wearables notify users of close proximity after 10 seconds of continued close contact using flashing yellow lights, vibration and a simple on-screen message.

“With increased emphasis on preventing the spread of the virus and containing exposures, businesses are reviewing their policies and the need to maintain physical separation from others,” said Sean Stinson, CRO at Blackline Safety. “Through the latest in wearable cloud-connected technology, G7c offers the tools that teams need to mitigate COVID-19 risks among their workforce while keeping the business moving forward sustainably. Combined with our cloud-hosted Close Contact Report, close contact detection and notification supports proactive social distancing programs. Plus, should a worker test positive or become symptomatic, businesses have the ability to trace potential points of close contact among team members.”

Proactive social distancing notification to G7c users

New G7c close contact detection firmware provides users with a short-duration notification when working within proximity of one or more co-workers. With a press of a button, users can continue working without further notification or distraction. Should another employee come into close contact, a new proactive notification will announce the close contact to the group of users. Designed with a short detection delay, close contact notifications and unnecessary distractions are avoided when employees pass by each other as they move throughout a facility.

Businesses can request that G7c close contact detection to be turned on for all G7c users in their Blackline Live account or for specific groups of users, based on policy, risk levels and the likelihood of potential close interaction with co-workers.

Industrial contact tracing

In addition to notifying G7 users of close social contact, this new device firmware also streams Bluetooth-based close contact data to the Blackline Cloud, powering an improved Blackline Analytics Close Contact Report. Combined an interactive device History View Report, these enhanced tools help businesses retrace a G7 user’s steps should they present with symptoms or test positive for COVID-19. Should this occur, businesses can identify locations where employees came into close proximity and with whom an individual may have interacted with, over a configurable period of time.

Blackline’s portfolio of contact tracing and close contact notification tools comply with rigorous privacy regulations and will be available to all Blackline clients at no additional cost. Firmware installation occurs automatically and wirelessly, over-the-air. Blackline customers who are interested in enabling close contact detection for their employees are welcomed to contact Blackline’s Client Success team at This email address is being protected from spambots.

LIVONIA, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Customer engagement with the nation’s largest 140 electric, combination and natural gas utilities has reached a new high thanks to effective utility responses to challenges posed by the pandemic and economy. Escalent’s ECR (engaged customer relationship) index, a comprehensive customer relationship measurement used by utility management to assess customer engagement, increased 15 points this year to 728 (on a 1,000-point benchmark scale) as a result of strengthened brand perceptions and increased product engagement. Forty-two utilities performed above their peers to earn the title of Escalent 2020 Utility Customer Champions. These results are from the 2020 Cogent Syndicated Utility Trusted Brand & Customer Engagement™: Residential study by Escalent, a top human behavior and analytics firm.

Customers, Wall Street and regulators have all made it clear that the future success of a utility depends on engagement beyond the meter. Three in four (76%) customers now state their ideal utility should excel in the areas of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG), all categories that align with the ECR index’s Brand Trust component. Customers also report increased product engagement with high use of energy consumption management offerings (64% across 13 offerings) and interest in renewable energy and electric vehicle-related products (74% across seven offerings).

“Engaging customers beyond simply satisfying service needs is now a utility reality to ensure future success. Scoring well on the ECR index is critical to growing company value and stakeholder support,” said Chris Oberle, senior vice president at Escalent. “Utilities have confronted a very tough year by building customer support for their environmental, social, product and management efforts. Our 2020 Customer Champions are leading the pack on these ESG principles.”

Escalent congratulates the following utilities as 2020 Customer Champions. These utilities have scored above their peers on the ECR index, a 360-degree measurement of the utility customer relationship through performance on factors that impact Brand Trust, Product Experience and Service Satisfaction.

The following are ECR scores for the 140 utilities covered in the study.

About Utility Trusted Brand & Customer Engagement™: Residential

Escalent conducted surveys among 73,170 residential electric, natural gas and combination utility customers of the 140 largest US utility companies (based on residential customer counts). The sample design uses a combination of quotas and weighting based on US census data to ensure a demographically balanced sample of each evaluated utility’s customers based on age, gender, income, race and ethnicity. Utilities within the same region and of the same type (e.g., electric-only providers) are given equal weight to balance the influence of each utility’s customers on survey results. Escalent will supply the exact wording of any survey question upon request.

METAIRIE, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Biloxi Marsh Lands Corporation (PINK SHEETS: BLMC) today announces its unaudited results for the third quarter of 2020 and first nine months of 2020. The Company’s revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from oil and gas production for its fee lands was $1,557 compared to revenue of $7,165 for the third quarter of 2019. Dividend and interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $11,233 compared to $22,596 for 2019. The Company realized a cumulative gain from the sale of investment securities of $31,519 compared to a cumulative gain of $64,736 for the same period of 2019. The flow-through losses from the Company’s membership interests in limited liability companies was $73,188 for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $488,652 for 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a settlement gain in the amount of $1,607,716. Expenses for the third quarter were $102,321 compared to $178,577 for the same period of 2019. The Company had net income of $1,546,908 or $0.62 per share for the third quarter of 2020 compared to a net loss of $483,946 or $0.19 per share in 2019. For the first nine months of 2020, there was net income of $521,134 or $0.21 per share compared to a net loss of $1,836,698 or $0.73 per share for the same period of 2019.

Due to office closures caused by COVID-19 and various tropical weather events, the timeliness of the Company’s office administration has been hindered slightly, but its field operations continue with impact only from the tropical weather events.

The Company’s claim (Biloxi Marsh Lands Corp., et al. v. United States; Case No. 12-382L) in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeking monetary damages for property damage and losses caused by the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet is in the process of moving forward. The U.S. Department of Justice filed a motion for summary judgment on the issue of statute of limitations concerning the portion for the Company’s claim related to a taking of real property. The parties continue to await the Court’s decision. The Company cannot predict the timing of resolution or the outcome of this litigation process, but it is anticipated that this litigation process will take time.

During the third quarter, the Company received a settlement payment for its wetlands real property claim under the Halliburton Energy Service, Inc. / Transocean Settlements arising out of the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico beginning on April 20, 2010. These settlements are separate from the BP Deepwater Horizon Economic and Property Damages Settlement Program. The Company has been advised by our legal counsel that no additional recovery under the settlements is expected related to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

B&L Exploration, LLC (“BLX”), of which the Company owns a 75% membership interest, is contractually entitled to a 1.5% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest (ORRI) in the mineral leases comprising the 9,000 acre - EOC-TUSC BL UDS SUA production unit from which the Highlander well is producing. This production unit is located in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana. A series of public hearings have taken place with respect to the production unit. The public meeting to consider the application by one of mineral owners requesting that the size of the unit be reduced was held and an order by the Louisiana’s Department of Natural Resources (“LDNR”), Office of Conservation has yet to be posted on LDNR’s website. Information reported by the Highlander well’s operator to LDNR is available on LDNR’s Strategic Online Natural Resources Information System (SONRIS – www.sonris.com).

BLX continues its operations in South Texas. As previously reported, B&L Resources, LLC (“BLR”), of which the Company owns a 50% membership interest, continues its development efforts in South Texas and is focused on its recent acquisition of Heyser Field from Frostwood Energy, LLC.

Biloxi Marsh Lands Corporation is a Delaware corporation whose principal assets are surface and mineral rights to approximately 90,000 acres of marsh land in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, which from time to time generates revenues from mineral activities including lease bonuses, delay rentals, royalties on oil and natural gas production, and fee land income unrelated to oil and gas activities. Through investment in limited liability companies the Company also has separate interests in various oil and gas properties in Louisiana and Texas outside of its fee lands.

CARY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MercuryGate® International, Inc., (MercuryGate) the largest and rapidly growing independent SaaS transportation management system (TMS) provider, today announced the expansion of its digital freight matching (DFM) capability with the creation and integration of an automated freight matching network.

MercuryGate’s digital freight network (DFN) produces visibility to capacity with guaranteed rates in a seamless, automated process equipping customers with extensive options for finding capacity at competitive rates to keep products moving and trucks full. The DFM solution uses embedded analytics that delivers the critical information and insight needed to make the right decision based on MercuryGate’s extensive $65 billion freight network. The network also helps capacity providers match their empty equipment with immediate demand to remove unnecessary empty miles throughout the transportation network.

“We live in a data-driven world and tapping into the power of analytics isn’t an option, it’s a necessity,” said MercuryGate President & CEO Joe Juliano. “Connecting the right loads with the right carriers and providing a guaranteed rate in real time requires more than a rolodex, it requires unprecedented speed and insight to analyze enormous amounts of information and automatically produce realistic and executable load plans while responding to disruptions in the supply chain. Adding digital freight capabilities automates what was typically a tedious manual process into available capacity from the first to the last mile.”

DFM offers an additional source to shippers seeking to fill capacity while closing the loop for 3PL’s, Carriers and Brokers to simplify the freight brokerage process; even for large shippers with private fleets seeking to sell empty miles. MercuryGate’s digital freight matching service is the world’s largest, creating a network of unlimited capacity to support the company’s shipping customers’ needs and providing its 3PL, Carrier and Broker networks an opportunity to sell more loads autonomously on an extended marketplace.

As reported by Gartner, “many new digital freight models have entered the market. The digitized freight network is the most common freight model for road transportation. These DFNs provide an alternative to traditional brokers, load boards and the spot market, which remain time-consuming and collect information from carriers and shippers, but don’t support true collaboration. These digitized freight networks can help companies that are looking for real-time available capacity or looking to reduce transportation costs during the current crisis as well as during future challenging times.”

According to the Gartner, “As the transportation industry continues to be in flux, companies are searching for additional freight resources via technology”. The report continues to say that, “Gartner is seeing that the current market dynamics in transportation are increasing the urgency for digital optimization and transformation in many supply chains. This trend is being seen across the supply chain — transportation and freight brokerage included. There is a need in the market to automate and digitize to make interactions and business easier for shippers and transportation providers alike.” *

As the industry heads into the historically capacity-constrained holiday season, coupled with ongoing pandemic constrictions and disruptions, the availability of a digital freight matching network is an added advantage for MercuryGate customers.

“MercuryGate’s focus to deliver more value to customers is our number one goal,” said Juliano. “Leveraging machine learning and data analytics to get logistics right and reduce idle capacity, increase driver income and decrease freight costs for shippers and transporters underscores the complementary benefit of DFM for all modes of transportation. At a time when disruptions to transportation have resulted in record tender rejections, shippers need a way to find the capacity they need to keep their goods flowing. MercuryGate delivers on that added need and value.”

• Stakeholder’s natural gas and crude oil systems serve producers working in the San Andres formation in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#midstream--Stakeholder Midstream, LLC, (“Stakeholder”) announced today it has acquired gas gathering and processing assets from Santa Fe Midstream, LLC (“Santa Fe”). Located in Yoakum County, Texas, the assets include Santa Fe’s 30-30 Gas Treating and Processing Plant, low-pressure gas gathering pipelines, downstream residue and NGL lines, and a long-term acreage dedication from an established San Andres oil and gas producer. The Santa Fe System will complement Stakeholder’s existing Campo Viejo Processing Plant and gathering system currently serving San Andres producers on the Northwest Shelf of the Permian Basin. The acquisition brings the combined systems’ gas processing capacity to approximately 85 million cubic feet per day, total gathering pipeline mileage to approximately 450 miles and total acreage dedications to the combined gas systems to greater than 200,000 acres (system map here).

“We entered the San Andres play in 2016 due to the unique blend of production stability and growth potential, and that thesis has been validated by our customers’ performance,” said Stakeholder Co-CEO Robert Liddell. “Despite a challenging commodity environment in 2020, our system volumes continued to grow year over year and we expect that trend to continue. This consolidation enhances Stakeholder’s capabilities to provide even better service to our customers.”

The Santa Fe acquisition follows Stakeholder’s August 2020 purchase and integration of a crude gathering system owned collectively by Walsh Petroleum, Inc. and Burk Royalty Co., Ltd. The August acquisition brings pipeline mileage on the crude oil gathering system to approximately 150 miles and acreage dedications to the crude system to approximately 150,000 acres. The San Andres Crude Gathering System includes 60,000 barrels of storage and is connected to Phillips 66, Plains All American and the Centurion Pipeline System (system map here).

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP served as legal counsel to Stakeholder with partners Parker Lee and Taylor Landry in the lead roles from the firm’s New York and Houston offices, respectively. Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal counsel to Santa Fe. Partners Kevin Crews and Thomas Laughlin led the Kirkland & Ellis team from the firm’s Dallas office.

Selected excerpts:
Interview Recorded Tuesday, December 8, 2020

(Edited slightly for brevity only)

• On the major foreign policy challenges for the Biden Administration:
  
  “It’s one hell of an inbox. It begins with a lot of the domestic pressures stemming from COVID-19. We’re not going to have the bandwidth to deal with a lot of the world if we can’t get on top of this virus at home. We may not think of a pandemic as a national security challenge, but it really is.
  
  “You have various manifestations of great power challenge, fundamentally different ones, from Russia and China. Then you’ve got the problem countries – places like North Korea, Iran, Venezuela. And then you’ve got global issues like climate. It’s an extraordinary inbox facing the new administration.”

• On how America’s traditional allies view the United States:
  
  “Many of them, particularly in Europe, to some extent in Asia, are dismayed. Quite honestly, they get up in the morning and they see things and they shake their heads because this is not the United States they knew or thought they knew. Even the election result, which most of our traditional allies welcomed, they are worried not simply over the president’s pushing back, but rather the sense that 70 million Americans voted for someone so outside the general mainstream of American foreign policy of the last 75 years.
  
  “They’re worried what this might portend for the future. A lot of our allies don’t know what’s the norm and what’s the aberration. And is the next four years, which kind of looks like a return to the past, is that something that can be taken for granted going forward? Or just the opposite – is the Biden Administration likely to be a one-term phenomenon and then we return to some version of Trumpism with or without the man? It has injected a great degree of uncertainty. I think you’re going to see a degree of hedging behavior on the part of allies in Europe and Asia.”

• On U.S.-China relations:
  
  “This history of the Cold War doesn’t help us so much with China. It’s a very different kind of challenge than was the Soviet Union because China is so economically powerful and economically integrated. The challenge for American foreign policy is, how do you push back against China where we need to over what they’re doing in the South China Sea or what they might do with Taiwan? How do we push back where it’s warranted, but how do we do so in a way that, one, does not lead to a conflict and, two, doesn’t preclude the possibility of cooperation on climate or North Korea or something like global health where it’s obviously in our interest that the two of us do cooperate. That’s a real challenge for foreign policy.
  
  “It’s so much easier when you have a one-dimensional relationship, but to have a relationship with multiple dimensions is a much more difficult foreign policy and statecraft challenge.”

• On the challenges of Iran and Russia:
  
  “I would describe Iran as an imperial power. They want to have a role; they want to have a sway that transcends the borders of Iran. They want to be first among equals and they want a degree of deference towards them. Iran is a real challenge because they are not a status quo country and they have a lot of tools at their discretion. They are constrained to some extent by internal political divisions and they’re clearly constrained by American sanctions, but Iran is a real force to be reckoned with in the region.
  
  “Mr. Putin gets up in the morning and in his worldview, what we represent – our kind of liberalism in the traditional sense of the word – he sees as a threat to Russia and to his rule over Russia. With the new administration in the United States, which is going to put more of an emphasis on political issues and democracy promotion, on human rights, the friction between the U.S. and Russia will heat up. But I also think the new administration will be businesslike. You’ll hopefully have an extension of the New START nuclear agreement. I think there’ll be regular diplomacy, not necessarily the kind of personal diplomacy that we saw with Trump and Putin, but more the kind of stuff that has been the norm for decades.”

• On new international approaches to dealing with climate change:
  
  “If you look at Paris, the whole structure is each country sets its own ambitions. And then you add it all up and see what you’ve got. The problem is, you look at the ambitions and you add it up and it’s inadequate. One approach for the future is essentially 'Paris 2.0' where countries would agree to lay out more ambitious timetables and goals for themselves when it comes to reducing emissions. That’s possible, but I just don’t see that will ever get us to where we need to go.
  
  “The most interesting area for creative thinking is going to be in the realm of trade and whether in the future certain trade agreements…we would enter such a group and then over time such a group would adopt climate criteria: if you want to export into us you have to meet certain climate related standards. If you can’t, you’ll be subject to a tariff. We need a whole different mindset. Rather than thinking about a top-down, universal, concentrated approach to climate, we’re going to have to think about a much more multifaceted approach, more ground-up, some national, some various kind of multilateral. But the approach to climate is going to have to be very different if it’s going to succeed.”

• On global responses to COVID-19:
  
  “If you look at how countries have fared, it doesn’t break down along the nature of the system. There’s been successful democracies, and there have been democracies that have failed. You have successful authoritarian systems, then you have [Iran and Russia]. It’s all about the leadership, not about the nature of the system.
  
  “The World Health Organization clearly failed early on. It’s another example of how the institutional machinery of the world is inadequate to the task. China did not meet its obligations early on under the international health regulations. It shows how there’s still a real tension in the world between sovereign rights and sovereign obligations and we haven’t sorted that out. We’re going to have an interesting test coming up with the question of vaccine production, dissemination and funding. An interesting question will be, Can the world come up with an approach to dealing with vaccines and therapeutics and sharing tests where there really is a genuine sharing? At the moment I’d simply say we’re not there.”

• On potential new pushback to international trade:
  
  “I think there may be a new push against trade because of supply chain issues. Coming out of COVID and other experiences, more and more governments may say: 'We can’t afford to be so vulnerable to this or that supply chain potential disruption, therefore what we’re going to have to do is have more domestic mandated production.' The problem, is, if every country on its own decides to go down the path of domestic mandated production it’s called import substitution; it’s called protectionism. If we do go down that path at all I would argue it’s essential it be coordinated within the World Trade Organization. It can’t just be done unilaterally.”

• On the unique global challenges of today in a historical context:
  
  “This is an era in which power has been distributed widely – power in all of its manifestations – and it’s in more hands. Not all those hands are the hands of nation states. [They] could be corporations, could be foundations, elements of civil society. Second, this is an era of history that is increasingly defined by global challenges. We’re living with one now – infectious disease that became a pandemic – but also climate change, proliferation, terrorism, cyber space and the digital domain, a global monetary order.
  
  “All of these are manifestations of globalization; all of these present all sorts of challenges. What makes this era of history so interesting, challenging, difficult and different, is that in addition to the normal stuff of history, we have widely distributed capacity in a wide set of hands at a time we are also facing these global challenges and in every one of these cases there is a large gap between the scale of the challenge and the degree of international resolve and consensus to meet it.”

• On the motivation behind his writing “The World: A Brief Introduction:”
  
  “The reason I thought it was necessary to do was, simply, I thought so few people in my country, but also around the world, have a real appreciation for why the world matters, how it affects their lives and, in turn, what they or their company or their government does and how that affects the world at the same time. If you don’t understand why the world matters, you’re much more prone to not paying attention to it, to support policies like isolationism, essentially to discount the importance of international things even though we live in a moment where they’re arguably more important than ever.
  
  “Even if you studied these things years ago, what you studied is in many ways irrelevant. The world is dynamic. If you watch the news at night in the U.S. and many counties, you don’t get an awful lot of coverage of the world. On the internet there’s tons of information – the problem is there’s tons of stuff that is inaccurate. Jefferson said a democracy requires an informed citizenry. You need the people – the citizens of a society – to hold their elected and appointed representatives to account, to ask the tough questions. How can you ask the tough questions if you’re not informed? I wrote this for people of any and every age because we are all so affected by what’s going on beyond our borders.”

• On the fatigue among Americans of U.S. engagement in the world:
  
  “For the last 75 years of history the principal agent of promoting order in the world has been the U.S., beginning with WWII, the creative aftermath to WWII, the Cold War and the rest. What worries me now is a lot of Americans are tired of this role. They don’t see the connections, they don’t understand how the world affects them, about how American foreign policy has affected the world. The cost-benefit ratio of our involvement in the world has been remarkable. But you wouldn’t know that if you don’t study history.
  
  “Also, recent experiences of the U.S. in the world, things like Iraq and Afghanistan where clearly the costs outweighed the benefits, we did make mistakes. Then you’ve got all these domestic demands, immediately now dealing with COVID. But even apart from COVID, we have the opioid problem, violence issues, infrastructure, public schools, race. There’s a natural inclination to discount the world, to turn inward. For a lot of people what matters not only begins at home but also stays close to home. As a result, there’s a real discounting of the significance of the world on their fate.”

• On the splintering of support for globalization:
  
  “Globalization has brought many good things. If you look at the last 70-75 years you can see the increase in wealth around the world, the absence of great power conflict, access to information through the internet, the ability to travel, many more countries are independent, many more people have degrees of freedom. This has been a remarkable era of history.
  
  “It really has been something of a golden age, yet there’s enormous pushback against globalization and in part some of it is understandable. There are aspects of globalization, including infectious diseases, which are anything but benign. There are many manifestations of globalization that are problematic. The problem is there’s lots of good things including trade, business, the free flow of ideas. The challenge is how do you push back against the bad part of globalization without throwing the baby out with the proverbial bath water?”
