In this episode we are talking to Frank Zagare about deterrence. The term gained popularity in particular during the cold war to describe the role of nuclear weapons in Soviet-American relations and, in light of recent events, has surfaced again. Together with Frank we look at the concept from a Game Theoretic perspective and discuss the shortcomings of the classical way of modeling deterrence. Frank then walks us through his alternative theory, perfect deterrence theory. He explains to us how it differs from classical way of modeling and which insights it offers on the war in Ukraine.   Frank Zagare is UB Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University at Buffalo and author of several books like ‘The Dynamics of Deterrence' and ‘Game Theory, Diplomatic History and Security Studies' among others.

Stanley Schwartz MD, PhD, is the UB Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics; and serves as the Division Chief of Allergy-Immunology-Rheumatology at Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. Before pursuing medicine, Dr Schwartz obtained a PhD in Cellular Biology from Univ of California San Diego.  He then completed his Medical school and Residency in Pediatrics from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr Schwartz pursued a Fellowship in Clinical Immunology from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He is a passionate researcher and has published over 150 journal articles, case reports and many book chapters. We will all experience rejection at some point. Your grades might not be high enough. Funding for research may decrease. You might not get into the fellowship you want. The question is what will you do after the rejection? Today, Dr. Stanley Schwartz shares, “if the opportunity you were seeking is not available, what are the other opportunities you hadn't considered?” Maybe you need to move in a different direction. Think outside the box. Talk it over with your mentors. They can help you see the bigger picture and help you make the most of whatever hand you were dealt. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Success relates closely to gratification and this can be achieved in several ways: helping someone in their time of need, achieving peer recognition, being a mentor to someone and seeing them succeed. 2. You will experience rejections. Develop a thick skin, think outside the box, and see the big picture. Know that mentors can help! 3. Successful people are team players and collaborative. It sharing the workload and collaborating with colleagues.

A HOUSE UNITED, Part Three of our conversations about understanding American and each other. Our guests are Antonio Elmaleh, author of the critically acclaimed Civil War and Reconstruction novel, The Ones They Left Behind, and James E. Campbell, UB Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York and author of "Polarized: Making Sense of a Divided America." Join them as they discuss the parallels between our country during the Civil War and now, and how we can unite as a nation during these divisive times.

James E. Campbell has written Polarized: Making Sense of a Divided America (PrincetonUniversity Press, 2016). Campbell is UB Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Buffalo, State University of New York. Are we a polarized nation or polarizing? Are voters moving to the extremes or is this just party elites growing further from each other? Campbell takes on these very timely questions in his book. He argues that polarization is real, but explaining its causes is a little more difficult. In Polarized, Campbell argues that there has been staggered partisan realignment, first by Democrats and later by Republicans. This historical pattern makes it tricky to observe polarization as it has not occurred in a neat and linear fashion. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
