Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

32. How Clergy & Autocrats Empowered Each Other - with Ahmet Kuru
Q: What should be done to improve the dynamics between religion and state in Muslim-majority countries?
Kuru suggests that principles for governance should focus on societal well-being and freedom, promoting a balance of power to contain the ambitions of ruling classes.
30. The Taliban Courts and Legal System - with Adam Baczko
Q: What is your outlook on the prospects of civil resistance against the Taliban?
I have a pessimistic outlook on civil resistance in Afghanistan, as current movements lack the military power and popular support required to challenge the Taliban effectively.
30. The Taliban Courts and Legal System - with Adam Baczko
Q: How did you negotiate access for your research on the Taliban?
I used snowball sampling, beginning with initial contacts to gain access to other people within the network influenced by the Taliban, despite significant dangers involved.
30. The Taliban Courts and Legal System - with Adam Baczko
Q: Why is it important to understand the failure of the Western intervention when discussing the Taliban's success?
Understanding the failure of the Western intervention is crucial because it explains how the Taliban were able to build a legitimate court system that contributed to their victory.
28. Liberalism Against Itself with Samuel Moyn
Q: Do you still think that liberalism should prioritize peaceful coexistence as we face the challenges in today's societies?
Moyn explains that while peaceful coexistence is crucial, it is also important for liberalism to evolve and address the pressing issues of economic fairness and social justice that have emerged in modern society.
