Episode 9 - Dr. Nicole Loring, Part One

Struggle to Understand

This is the first of three episodes where I speak with Dr. Nicole Loring. Dr. Loring is an assistant professor of political science at Rivier University. This conversation lays out broad themes taken up by political scientists who study international relations including things like what is international relations, what is the distinction between authoritarian and democratic regimes, and then we begin our exploration of Burma/Myanmar and its complicated political history which we then continue in our subsequent conversation. These conversations are a fascinating exploration of Southeast Asian politics and the difficulties that surround studying international relations.
