In the first episode of Season 3, Professor Jeffrey Sachs engages in a captivating conversation with political scientist Professor John Mearsheimer on his latest book ‘How States Think: The Rationality of Foreign Policy’. Together, they delve into the book’s core idea: states are generally rational in their foreign policymaking, in the sense that they use deliberative processes grounded in plausible theories of the world. During the discussion, they cover a broad spectrum of historical case studies, including the World Wars, the Cold War, and the War in Ukraine.
