Terrorism, Refugees and Pandemics
from World Class Hosted by Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University
Civil wars are getting longer, and their consequences are starting to seep across borders to threaten other countries and, sometimes, the rest of the world. In this first episode of our series on civil wars, Karl Eikenberry and Stephen Krasner talk about how war is changing and why we need to address it. In their project on confronting civil war threats, Eikenberry and Krasner gathered experts from around the world to talk about changing international policy to meet these new issues. Eight of the scholars are from FSI, and we will be speaking with all of them about how civil wars are changing, how they might affect the rest of the world, and what we can do about it. To learn more about civil wars, check out the fall 2017 and winter 2018 issues of Daedalus, the journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the outreach projects Eikenberry and Krasner are embarking on around the world: https://www.amacad.org/content/Research/researchproject.aspx?d=22262. Eikenberry spent 35 years in the U.S. Army before leaving his post as Lieutenant General to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan. Here at FSI, he is the Oksenberg-Rohlen Fellow at the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center. Krasner is the Graham H. Stuart Professor of International Relations. #CivilWarThreats If you like what you hear, you can get additional content from scholars at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies by following us on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, and by subscribing to our newsletters and updates.
