In Episode 113, Demetri Kofinas speaks with John Mearsheimer, about the failures of American foreign policy, which he ascribes to a fundamental misunderstanding about the relationship between nationalism and liberalism. Dr. Mearsheimer argues in favor of a more humble US foreign policy that acknowledges not only the limits of nation-building but also, the realities of international conflict that the United States is at risk of instigating with its geopolitical rivals like China and Russia.
