An interview with Dr. James McAdams by Zoe Desch Summary: This podcast will be about the destabilizing effect lies (or the lack of truth) from politicians and public figures can have on a country. A well educated citizenry is important to the democratic process and with the advent of social media information and misinformation are quickly and easily disseminated to the public. This information divides and confuses the electorate such that the truth becomes difficult to find. Dr. McAdams' class on Truth and Politics addresses the danger of losing sight of the truth and the dangers presented by misinformation to liberal democracies. Biography: Dr. McAdams is a faculty member in the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame, where he holds the William M. Scholl Endowed Chair in International Affairs. His primary fields of research and teaching are in comparative politics, international relations, and political history. Between 2002 and 2018, he was Director of the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, an interdisciplinary institute dedicated to the study of contemporary Europe, in the broadest sense of the term. He is also a fellow of the Helen Kellogg Institute for International Studies and the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. All of these institutes are affiliates of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs. He also has a passion for political philosophy.

Is there a difference between the Communist Party as an idea and the Communist Party in practice? A. James McAdams thinks so and takes the global approach to history to write a political and intellectual history of the Communist party. In Vanguard of the Revolution: The Global Idea of the Communist Party (Princeton University Press, 2017), he urges us to think of the party in practice and not simply think of communism as an idea detached from the workings of a political party. He starts with the writing of The Communist Manifesto and tracks the major communist parties that changed the course of the 20th century. We talk global history, Marx, the idea of world revolution, and the longevity of ideas. James McAdams is the William M. Scholl Professor of International Affairs and Director of the Nanovic Institute for European Studies.  He has written widely on European, especially central European, affairs.  His books include East Germany and Detente, Germany Divided, Judging the Past in Unified Germany, and The Crisis of Modern Times. Nadirah Mansour is a graduate student at Princeton University’s Department of Near Eastern Studies working on the global intellectual history of the Arabic-language press.
