The Internationalists: Foreign Policy After Globalization — The Domestic Power System

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.This episode explores The Internationalists by Alexander Ward as a systems-level analysis of American foreign policy after globalization.The discussion examines how domestic economic stability, democratic legitimacy, alliance coordination, industrial policy, and great-power competition now function as one connected system. Afghanistan, Ukraine, China, and the idea of a “foreign policy for the middle class” become entry points into a larger question: what happens when national security can no longer be separated from the economic life of ordinary citizens?📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/G57o-jbByrI❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/internationalist-160595273?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
