Politics, policies and Power: John Mearsheimer’s blunt analysis

Centre Stage

In this episode of Centre Stage, our guest is John Mearsheimer, a political scientist and influential scholar in international relations who’s best known for his theory of offensive realism. Mearsheimer talks to Al Jazeera’s Rawaa Auge about the wars in Gaza, Ukraine and Lebanon and how global and regional powers support and arm the belligerent parties. Mearsheimer also weighs in on the 2024 US presidential election, and the minefield that is US foreign policy. This episode is produced in partnership with the Islam and Muslims Initiative, an international platform that connects Muslims and non-Muslims in the realms of religion, politics, business, media, academia and civil society.
