How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires?

Realism and Balance of Threat with Dr. Stephen Walt

πριν 1 year

—

Realism has been the dominant theory of international relations since its conception, and within the realist school, the balance of power theory is a core tenet and posits that in order to survive as independent entities in an anarchic system, states are compelled to increase their power and balance against a potential hegemon. This theory was modified by Stephen Walt in 1985, who emphasized the role played by threat perception, rather than power itself to explain why states do not always balance against rising powers. In this episode, Professor Walt discusses the key tenets of his balance of threat, including how its implications are distinct from balance of power theory. We also discuss the application of the theory to the war in Ukraine, from the events and key decisions leading up to the conflict to how a lasting peace can eventually be negotiated.

πριν 1 year

The 2023 Guatemalan elections were closely watched this past summer, especially following the anti-democratic efforts that led to Bernardo Arévalo’s Semilla party being suspended after unexpectedly emerging as one of the two victors of the first round of elections in late June. Arévalo eventually beat out former first lady Sandra Torres in the August 20 run-off election. Manuel Meléndez-Sánchez, a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at Harvard University and a USIP-Minerva Peace and Security Scholar at the United States Institute of Peace, joins us today to discuss the Semilla Party’s platform and its success and the questions that loom about the future of democracy in the country. 2023 Guatemalan Elections: Democratic Spring or Winter?

The Wagner Group, a private military company, was fighting in Ukraine on behalf of the Russian government until late June, when the group’s commander Yevgeny Prigozhin launched a mutiny and began marching toward Moscow.

Israel’s Judicial Branch Reform

πριν 2 years

—

Israel, once touted as a thriving democracy in the Middle East, now finds itself in a very unstable political climate. After a 5th election in 4 years which restored the country’s longest running prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israelis are in the streets again protesting against a controversial bill introduced in the Israeli parliament. The bill, commonly known as the “reform”, promises to weaken the powers of the Israeli Supreme Court, which critics have said possesses broad and unspecified powers. In this episode, we discuss Israel’s political climate and the attempt at reforming its Supreme Court with Dr. Guy Laron, senior lecturer at the international relations department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

France Takes to the Streets

πριν 2 years

—

Recently, French president Emmanuel Macron used his emergency powers to pass a law that raises the retirement age, and the age at which French people can access their state funded pension. This recent – very unpopular – change alongside a whole host of other issues, has led to massive, and intense protests across France, a vote of no confidence in the government that only failed by a minute margin, and a general strike. Tara Varma, a visiting fellow in the Center of the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution, joins us to discuss the ongoing protests in France.

Climate Migrants

πριν 2 years

Climate change has rendered some parts of the world uninhabitable, prompting millions of people to be displaced. This is especially the case for already vulnerable populations in regions that bear most of the burden of rising temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions. The legal categorization of “climate migrants” or “climate refugees” is a hotly contested issue that will have serious implications for those displaced by climate catastrophes. To discuss issues related to climate-driven migration, joining us today is Dr. Ilil Benjamin, senior lecturer in the Sociology department at Johns Hopkins University.
