Garčević on the Global Repercussions of the Epstein Files
Ambassador Vesko Garčević, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Pardee School, was a guest on the radio podcast A Different Radio Connection, hosted by one of Montenegro’s most popular radio stations, Radio Antena M. The podcast covers a wide range of topics, from internal and regional politics to global affairs.
During the 70-minute conversation, titled What Did Epstein’s Files Reveal About the Global Elite and the Western Value System?, the host, Biljana Jovicevic, and Garčević discussed what the partially released Epstein files suggest about global moral hypocrisy and the individuals from political, economic, scientific, social, and cultural circles who were closely connected to Epstein. They also commented on how these revelations might affect the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.
One of Ambassador Garčević’s main points was that the Epstein files demonstrate how moral hypocrisy transcends ideology and party differences and exposes human greed for power and influence, regardless of one’s background—whether political, financial, or academic.
The professor additionally addressed the rapidly changing international order established after World War II—the order now being challenged by the very country that originally created it to advance its own global interests. Drawing on his experience in multilateral diplomacy, he was asked to share his views on the crisis of multilateralism and the future of key international organizations.
