Georgetown Professor Elizabeth Arsenault packs a semester worth of IR theory into one thirty minute conversation. After listening to this episode you'll learn the difference between "realism," "liberalism," and "constructivism." You'll learn the key assumptions, debates and individuals who have shaped IR theory; and you'll learn why this matters to policy makers. And if you are like Elizabeth and I, you'll even start to see IR theory everywhere--from reading about Trump's National Security Council to rearing toddlers.
