I have refrained from doing Substack videos since starting Drezner’s World, but how could I pass up a chance to chat with Princeton historian and author Julian Zelizer?! Despite our divided basketball loyalties, the combined number of z’s alone made this conversation feel inevitable!
Give it a listen. Julian asks me about Qatar’s attempt to gift Trump a plane and why I think it won’t happen, why Donald Trump is so thirsty for territory, the legacy of Joe Nye, and the continuing relevance of the Musgrave Tweet for political scientists. Enjoy!
