  • Plato and Diplomacy

    Plato’s political failures, ethical insights, and critique of democracy still shape how we think about power, war, and justice today. In this episode of Diplomacy and International Relations, we revisit Plato’s Seventh Letter, his doubts about democracy and written words, and the evolution of just war theory through Christian thought to ask what his legacy means for modern diplomacy and global conflict.

  • How Consultants and Lobbyists Shape Power

    In today’s political landscape, decision-making is no longer confined to elected officials alone. A powerful, professionalized class of consultants and lobbyists now operates behind the scenes, using advanced data analytics, psychological insights, and strategic communication to shape both policy and electoral outcomes.

    In this episode of Diplomacy and International Relations, we explore how political consulting has evolved into a multi-billion dollar global industry, and the tensions this creates between winning elections and sustaining democratic integrity. As we move into 2025, the growing use of artificial intelligence in voter micro-targeting, alongside the expanding influence of “dark money,” raises urgent questions about transparency, accountability, and public trust in democratic systems.
