About this listen

In this episode we unpack questions of legitimate use of force under liberalism, and perhaps how the 'other' can discover ‘our’ liberal individualism and free themselves from their oppressive power structures.

Join us for a discussion of International Relations, Star Trek, mass violence, and Cold War analogies.

Hosts:

Dr. Faiz Sheikh

Dr. Sarah Bulmer

Dr. Dan Watson
