In the first episode of the year, our host Ilen Madhavji guides us through a conversation on crisis co-management with The Hague Journal of Diplomacy's Book Award winner, Markus Kornprobst. His work titled "Co-Managing International Crises: Judgments and Justifications" sets the agenda by asking how states have traditionally worked together to solve security crises that demand immediate responses. Everything from the psychology of individual world leaders to how public opinion influences states' collaboration is brought to the table, especially as Ilen and Markus consider broader crises of the environment, refugees, and global health. After listening, if you're left with more questions than answers, or just want to say hello, please reach out to us at podcasthjd@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you!
