Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Explorations on War - Episode 8, with Prof Ian Hurd
Q: What are the ways international rules might constrain behavior and reduce war or guide its conduct?
Norms and rules shape the way leaders categorize and justify actions, influence military doctrine and domestic accountability, and create a framework that can steer states toward more legitimate or restrained behavior, even if enforcement remains imperfect.
Explorations on War - Episode 7, with Dr Lauren Sukin
Q: Can you provide a coherent framework to understand the interaction between domestic politics and international institutional context in relation to war prevention?
It is complex and contextual, requiring an understanding of both domestic and international influences on a leader's decision-making.
Explorations on War - Episode 7, with Dr Lauren Sukin
Q: How do institutions work to stomp a war through some kind of arrangement?

Explorations on War - Episode 7, with Dr Lauren Sukin
Q: How does deterrence really work in practice?

Explorations on War - Episode 7, with Dr Lauren Sukin
