    Talking Foreign Policy - Turning Points and Paradigm Shifts in U.S. Foreign Policy

    Every so often there is a tectonic shift in American foreign policy -- a fundamental turning point marked by new ways of approaching the world.  The post-World War II era of institution-building, the Cold War period of competition and militarization, and the 9/11 global war on terrorism are examples. Has the return of President Trump ushered in one of these historic turning points? What are the radical foreign policy changes he has pursued so far?  Are they likely to be temporary or enduring?  And what are the consequences for the United States and the world community? In this broadcast of "Talking Foreign Policy," host Michael Scharf has assembled a group of leading international law and policy experts to answer these questions

    Talking Foreign Policy - Prosecuting Russian Environmental War Crimes

    In its war with Ukraine, Russia has targeted the environment as its most insidious means of warfare.  It has blown up dams, flooded coal mines, burned down national forests, and even targeted the black sea dolphins that inhabit the waters off Ukraine's coast. With an effort to obtain a peace agreement now underway, will the perpetrators of these attacks be brought to justice?  Where will they be tried?  And what law will apply?

    Talking Foreign Policy - Foreign Policy and the 2024 Presidential Election

    Conventional wisdom says that foreign policy doesn't matter in U.S. Presidential elections. Quote "It's the economy, stupid," was long thought to be political gospel.  But this election might be different. According to polls, a divided America cares deeply about the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, about the influx of migrants from south of the border, about the looming trade war with China, and about the escalating climate crisis.   With the election just two months away, "Talking Foreign Policy" takes a look at where the Presidential Candidates and the electorate stand on the major foreign policy challenges facing the United States.

    Talking Foreign Policy - 75th Anniversary of the Geneva Conventions

    This August, the world will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions on the Law of War.  These seminal treaties were negotiated following the horrors of the Second World War.  Their object was to lay down rules to limit the savagery of armed conflict.  Every country in the world has signed them, making the Geneva Conventions the most ratified of all treaties.    But are the 75-year-old Geneva Conventions sufficient in a world where the technology portrayed in the Terminator, the Matrix and Star Wars is quickly becoming science fact.  Do we need to update the Geneva Conventions to add rules about autonomous weapons, cyber warfare, space warfare, and combating modern-day terrorists?   I'm Michael Scharf, Dean of Case Western Reserve University School of Law.  In this broadcast of "Talking Foreign Policy," I've assembled a group of military, diplomatic and legal experts who will address these questions.  … Right after the news.
