Interview with Dr. Shahin Berenji

In our first-ever interview for the podcast, Anita speaks with Dr. Shahin Berenji on whether NATO expansion may have led to Russian aggression and war towards Ukraine and his research on why state leaders must be able to emphasize with the other side to resolve strategic rivalries.

Tower Center for Public Policy and International Affairs at Southern Methodist University. He received his  Ph.D. in Political Science at UCLA and has recently published in International Security.
