Barbara Walter spoke with Good Authority a year ago about the war in Gaza, drawing from her New York Times bestselling research on how civil wars almost always fight until the end – unless an outside power steps in to guarantee a peace agreement. Now that a ceasefire is in place, she revisits her initial analysis and how domestic political factors are likely to shape what happens next.

An interview with University of California San Diego Professor Barbara Walter, whose book -- "How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them" -- examines the risk factors that presage civil wars. Those factors are "anocracy," factionalism, loss of power and loss of hope, all hyper-linked by social media. The U.S. has been on her watch list for civil war for some time. She's keeping it there. 

Unrest, even violence, could be a concern heading into the U.S. presidential election in November. What should be done to strengthen the nation's democratic institutions? And what lessons can be learned from other countries facing similar challenges? Author and political scientist Barbara Walter joins FP Live to share her findings from her research on civil wars around the world.

‘A história da Humanidade é a história das suas guerras', dizia Winston Churchill. Será de facto assim? Será a violência a matriz da civilização e o medo desta a «cola» da sociedade?No topo das prioridades de qualquer sociedade estão, em primeiro lugar, a paz e a segurança; mas, ao longo dos tempos, a violência tem sido necessária para se fazerem revoluções e, com isso, se operarem mudanças.Neste episódio, o politólogo João Pereira Coutinho e o comunicador Manuel Cardoso falam sobre o papel da violência no pensamento político e na história, num momento em que as guerras se alastram pelo mundo, os extremismos ganham força e os atentados a candidatos à presidência fazem de novo manchetes.O que representam estes acontecimentos para a democracia? Vale a pena ouvir para refletir.REFERÊNCIAS ÚTEISArendt, Hanna, «Sobre a Violência» (Relógio D'Água)Hobbes, Thomas, «Leviatã» (BookBuilders)Locke, John, «Dois Tratados do Governo Civil» (Edições 70)Robespierre, Maximilien, «Terror e Virtude» (BookBuilders)Walter, Barbara F, «Como as Guerras Civis Começam» (Zahar)Weber, Max, «A Política como Vocação / A Ciência como Vocação» (BookBuilders)«Leviatã», filme de Andrey Zvyagintsev«Assassins», musical de Stephen SondheimBIOSMANUEL CARDOSOÉ humorista e um dos autores do programa de sátira política «Isto É Gozar com Quem Trabalha», da SIC.

When Philosophy Talk co-founder Ken Taylor passed away in 2019, he was working on a manuscript titled Farewell to the Republic We Once Dreamed of. Was Ken right to think the American experiment is on the verge of collapse? Are we heading for authoritarian rule, a national divorce, or even a civil war? Or could better days be on the horizon? In Ken's honor, Josh and Ray devote their end-of-year special to probing the future of the American republic with Barbara Walter from UC San Diego, Tamsin Shaw from New York University, and Rob Reich from Stanford University.

Enter the world of director and producer Don Mischer, who has notched a lifetime of history-making moments with Beyoncé and Baryshnikov, Willie Nelson and Muhammad Ali, Olympic flames, inaugurations, and Prince in the rain. Don Mischer's :10 Seconds to Air is a captivating look behind the curtain at the creation of some of television's most celebrated live events. Mischer's personal story is an unlikely journey, but a very American one. From a modest South Texas upbringing to directing Super Bowl halftime shows and Olympics opening ceremonies, :10 Seconds to Air is an homage to America's vibrant, richly diverse culture, as reflected through television. Equal parts anecdotal memoir and history-in-the-making, :10 Seconds to Air anchors itself to Mischer's formative experience as a college student in Austin, learning of JFK's assassination as he awaits the arrival of the President from Dallas. Watching the diligence of the reporters who worked on that developing story convinces him to change course and pursue a career in television. This leads Mischer to New York City, and involvement in many historic moments, from joining Barbara Walter for her interview in Tehran with the Shah, to Prince's epic, rain-soaked Super Bowl halftime performance. :10 Seconds to Air brings us alongside Mischer to witness first-hand what it is like to collaborate with iconic talents like Mohammad Ali, Michael Jackson, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, among many others. The job? Navigating countless unknowns and logistical challenges in real time to orchestrate hundreds of people before the eyes of millions of viewers. The result is a fascinating portrait of an individual behind many, many cameras, striving to capture history.

Barbara Walter has been part of a CIA task force looking at predictive models for where civil wars might break out around the world. As the task force looked closely at the data, they discovered that the two most predictive factors were well-established in America.    Barbara says the 2024 U.S. Presidential election is a genuine trigger for violence, and if the U.S. does not change its course, it could end up in a second civil war.   Malcolm talks to Barbara about what leads modern democracies toward violence and what can be done to avert a second civil war in the United States.   Available on Listnr See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Between democracy and autocracy is an anocracy, defined by political scientists as a country that has elements of both forms of government — usually one that's on the way up to becoming a full democracy or on the way down to full autocracy. This messy middle is the state when civil wars are most likely to start and the one that requires the most diligence from that country's citizens to prevent a civil war from breaking out.Barbara F. Walter, author of How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them has spent decades studying civil wars around the world and working with other political scientists to quantify how strong democracy is in a given country. She joins us this week to discuss those findings, how the democratic health of the United States has shifted over the past decade, and more.Walter is the Rohr Professor of International Affairs at the School of Global Policy & Strategy at the University of California, San Diego.

Let's think back to January 6th 2021, when the U.S. Capitol was invaded by radical pro-Trump activists. Of course since then, Donald Trump has left the White House. But, with hindsight, how should we remember his mandate and this event in particular?  Political scientist Baraba F. Walter recently looked into the US's current instability and went as far as describing it as an anocracy. That's a term for a government that is neither fully democratic, nor fully autocratic. It was first coined in 1946 by Austrian philosopher Martin Buber and then translated into English in the 1950s. Barbara Walter is a CIA advisor and professor at the University of San Diego in California. Throughout her career, she has studied conflicts in many countries across the world, such as Lebanon, Syria, Sri Lanka, and Nicaragua, to name just a few.  Where does the word anocracy come from? Why would she believe that? And how can an anocracy plunge into civil war? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to more episodes, click here: Are my smart devices spying on me?

Guests: Zoe Tillman, Kyle Cheney, Michael Schmidt, Barbara Walter, David RemnickA big day for the seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keepers as a MAGA mouthpiece meets the committee. Tonight: what we learned from today's hearing, what the January 6th committee wants to know from Alex Jones, and new reporting about what's in those newly released White House documents. Then, the race to uphold the rule of law as one of two major parties abandons it. Plus, the New Yorker's David Remnick on America's response to Russian aggression. 

One year on from Joe Biden's inauguration David and Helen talk with Gary Gerstle about what's gone wrong. What is the strategy behind this presidency? Has it tried to do too much or too little? And are the dark warnings of another American civil war really plausible? Plus we discuss whether the original American Civil War should really be used as the template for political breakdown.Talking Points: It's hard to be a transformational president when your congressional margin is as slim as Biden's is.Are critics being too harsh? Unemployment is down, the pandemic recovery was quicker than anticipated, and there is a broader renegotiation of work conditions for lower-paid workers. But these are not the seismic shifts many hoped for. Biden may want to be a transformational president, but the conditions do not suit transformational politics.Did an overreading of Trump's incompetence on the pandemic inflate expectations of Biden? What would Biden's presidency look like if Democrats did not have a majority in the Senate?The unexpected victories in Georgia have also led to heightened scrutiny of the holdout Democrats, Sinema and Manchin. Republican senators seem to be getting a free pass. Are fears about a looming American civil war overblown?What do we mean by civil war? The idea of the federal government fighting a group of secessionist states seems inconceivable. The notion of factions vying for control over the center is somewhat more plausible.The American Civil War was not just about tribalism or ideology. There were incompatible political economic systems. The very fact that the United States has had a Civil War, however, is still part of American politics. As T.S. Eliot said, ‘Serious civil wars never come to an end.'Will the burgeoning discourse around illegitimate election results actually translate into more overt political violence in the future?Mentioned in this Episode: Biden's recent speech on voting rightsBarbara Walter's book, How Civil Wars StartGary's forthcoming book, The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal OrderFurther Learning:Is Civil War coming to America? More on Merrick Garland's investigation Eric Foner for the LRB on the electoral collegeAnd as ever, recommended reading curated by our friends at the LRB can be found here: lrb.co.uk/talking See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Since the insurrection on January 6, warnings of a second American Civil War have been sounded.

There is nothing linear about life, history or society. Nope, it's all push and pull, fits and starts, up and down, step forward and step back. Former President Obama used to quote Martin Luther King Jr. to the effect that “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” But to me, there's less of an arc to life than a series of very wavy lines, and those lines are likely to be trending, if they have any discernible trend, in different directions. Nowhere is this reality more apparent than on the farm. It was refreshing this week to finally arrive at true meteorological winter. A few inches of light fluffy snow ended Friday morning, easily shoveled off the driveway, followed Saturday by bright blue sunshine and a zero wind chill this morning. It seemed like this kind of crisp, unmistakable winter would never get here. That it was so pretty and was so easy to manage made it delightful, after what seemed like weeks of warmish gray days punctuated by dismal drizzle. But it always struck me as odd that as the arc of temperature bends toward winter in January, statistically our coldest month, it is precisely then that the arc of daylight begins to bend towards spring. Since the winter solstice we've been adding close to a minute of daylight each day, so that now the days (9 hours, 14 minutes) are about eleven minutes longer, and the nights (11 hours, 24 minutes) are about eleven minutes shorter than they were just before Christmas. The remaining two and a half hours are accounted for by varying degrees of twilight. This may seem like a small change, but it makes a discernible difference. Around Christmas my daily egg collections averaged three to four eggs. This week the average has doubled, to seven to eight eggs a day, and one day I collected eleven. We're back to where we were, in both daylight and egg production, on December 3. Egg producers are generally advised that chickens need fourteen hours of light a day to produce eggs, and that they produce best when the daylight lasts 16 hours, which can be simulated with artificial lighting that I eschew. But it seems to me that twilight counts for this purpose, and that even at 12 1/2 hours of combined daylight and twilight there is enough to stimulate a significant minority of the chickens. In my mind, the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6) has always announced the coming spring egg avalanche. Of course January 6 has taken on other significance as well. As on the farm, the greater world is moving into cold and darkness, by fits and starts, even as it moves into the light. The dark trend was all too apparent this week as we marked the anniversary of the attempted coup against the duly elected American government by a sitting president a year ago, and found that even the Republican party leaders who condemned the coup attempt a year ago were through silence or acquiescence endorsing it now. The Center for Systemic Peace, which monitors the risk of political instability in every country in the world with more than 500,000 people, had already, based on executive actions by the Trump Administration such as purges of perceived disloyal government employees and undermining trust in the electoral process, moved the United States from the category of democracies to anocracies (a mix of authoritarian rule and democracy) in 2020. According to the Center's ranking, Switzerland is now the longest continuously practiced democracy in the world. Although Biden's executive actions reversing some Trump era practices moved us back into the category of democracies in 2021, the January 6 coup attempt, together with other disturbing trends, put us in a category of high risk for political instability. One expert on civil wars, quoted in this week's New Yorker, Barbara Walter of the University of California, San Diego, finds us to be at high risk of such a war here. She bases her opinion in part on how far we've moved do

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with President Biden and Vice President Harris having given a major, joint speech in Atlanta on Tuesday, putting the full weight of the administration behind the push for new federal voter protection laws, even if it means that Senate Democrats go it alone. Meanwhile, the probe of Donald Trump's business practices in New York seems to be a source of heartburn for the Trump family, in addition to other legal proceedings underway involving the disgraced former president. Joy and her panel discuss where Trump could first possibly face indictment. Then, we discuss top infectious-disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci calling out Sen. Rand Paul during a congressional hearing on Tuesday for spreading dangerous misinformation about the pandemic as a fundraising tool, as Dr. Fauci faces death threats. Plus, some experts are sounding the alarm that we could be heading toward a second civil war. Barbara Walter, who has studied civil wars around the world for 30 years, joins us on her new book outlining this possibility. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
