Duckcalls: Duck of Minerva podcast

Adam, Daniela and Jarrod discuss the challenge of thinking about climate justice in the context of IR and existing models of justice and reparations. 

Jarrod is joined by Daniela Lai and Adam Lerner to talk about the role of big questions in IR scholarship and teaching.

Jarrod talks with Lisel Hintz of Johns Hopkins University and Sibel Oktay of the University of Illinois Springfield and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs about the complex history of Turkey in NATO as well as the domestic and intralliance sources of Turkey's current resistance to Finnish and Swedish accession to NATO. 

Jarrod talks with Georg Löfflmann (University of Warwick) and Frank Stengel  (Kiel University) about the changes in German foreign policy in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and, in particular, about the idea that Germany is experiencing a watershed moment.

Jarrod talks with Professor Marwa Daoudy about her new book, The Origins of The Syrian Conflict: Climate Change and Human Security (Cambridge, 2020). Daoudy challenges the conventional wisdom in some policy circles that climate change was the primary driver behind the start of the Syrian conflict. We discuss some of the difficult questions about causality and the ability of IR theory to provide adequate tools for addressing climate change. We also discuss the origins of the book and her broad, multidisciplinary approach.
