International History Declassified

The field of International History reveals a world of great power politics, international diplomacy, and monumental events. However, International History Declassified seeks to take a closer look into not just the events and people of the past, but those who are studying that history today. Co-hosts Kian Byrne and Pieter Biersteker sit down with various scholars and historians to take a deeper look into the field of International History to discuss how that history is made, and where the field is headed in the future. International History Declassified is a podcast from the History and Public Policy Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
