In this podcast, Schar School associate professor Sonia Ben Ouagrham-Gormley discusses why policy makers and security experts tend to underestimate just how hard it is for rogue governments and nonstate actors to acquire biological weapons.

Schar School associate professor Jennifer N. Victor highlights the costs, in terms of lost employee time and an erosion of trust, that the government incurs when Congress comes close to not meeting deadlines for funding the government.

In a discussion among leading public intellectuals about existential threats to American identity and governance, Goldstone attributes political fractures to economic causes, particularly the failure of wages to keep pace with national output.

Schar School Professor and former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe cohosts a podcast, with 57 episodes through the end of 2023, on the investigation of President Donald Trump by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Schar School Professor Mark Katz argues that the nations in the Middle East want more Russian and Chinese engagement in the region, in large part to enable them to play the great powers off one another.

In a wide-ranging interview, Schar School Professor Jack Goldstone imagines some of the transformative changes that could result from current demographic shifts. He imagines how, in several decades, Africa could be the “new China,” leading the world in productivity growth, serving as the focal point of youth culture and consumption, and offering medical care and retirement communities to the aging populations of Europe and North America.

Schar School associate professor Gregory Koblenz depicts as both symbolic but also impactful two recent efforts by both government and human rights organizations to hold the Syrian government accountable for its use of chemical weapons. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons passed a proposal to prevent Syria from acquiring the materials used to make chemical weapons. The proposal also calls for providing technical and legal support to efforts to prosecute the use of chemical weapons anywhere in the world. On the same day, 16 human rights and survivor organizations unveiled a separate proposal to create an international tribunal in which to prosecute parties accused of using chemical weapons.
