This is the second of two episodes interviewing Dr. Dan Nexon, a former adviser to Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign, a proponent of progressive internationalism, scholar of empires, and much more. In this episode, we talk about how he ended up advising Sanders's campaign in 2016, what led him to think seriously about progressive foreign policy, his beef with the anti-imperial left, why the "liberal international order" is on death's door, how to think about the rise of far right movements in Europe, Chinese versus US imperialism, what he likes about the convergences and divergences in Warren versus Sanders as presidential candidates, and more!
