But it seems like every day, there is a new problem on the horizon: great power conflict, political extremism, climate change – the list goes on and on. In this student podcast sponsored by the Philip Merrill Center for Strategic Studies, we ask leading experts in the fields of national security, strategy, and statecraft about what problems the world is facing and, more importantly, how to solve them.

    Chinese Maritime Strategy: A Comprehensive Approach to Power Jan 19, 2024
    Show notes

    In the 2000s, China has undertaken an unprecedented naval buildup, expanded its investment in overseas ports, and pushed new interpretations of laws of the sea to secure sovereignty in its “near seas” while protecting its interests in the “far seas.”

    In discussing China’s comprehensive approach to maritime power, Dylan Yachyshen sits down with Dr. Isaac Kardon to analyze China’s strategic conception of the “near” and “far” seas, China’s attempts to advance new interpretations of the law of the sea, and its investment in overseas ports.

    Dr. Kardon’s new book China’s Law of the Sea: The New Rules of Maritime Order covers China’s efforts at shaping the law of the sea in further detail.

Special focus is given to the humanitarian crisis, the challenges faced by displaced populations, and the conflict's broader geopolitical impact, especially considering the involvement of powers like Russia.

    Why does intelligence fail? Nov 17, 2023
    Show notes

    Intelligence analysis is a tricky job, and failure can have devastating consequences. Since the October 7th attacks by Hamas in Israel, this issue has become more acute as experts wonder how Hamas was able to manage such a sophisticated operation undetected by Israeli intelligence. But this is not the only example of intelligence failure. In this week's episode, we are joined once again by the former Acting Director of the CIA, John McLaughlin, to discuss the difficulties of intel collection and analysis—and how addressing these challenges requires both fighting and embracing human nature.

    To read more about historical examples of intelligence failure and how they may apply to the situation in Israel, check out Prof. McLaughlin's recent article in The Cipher Brief:

This conversation aims to clarify the ever-changing alliances and power equations in the Middle East, as nations endeavor to break away from Western hegemony.
