In the season finale of "The View From Here," Jasmine reflects on the key themes and lessons learned from season one: the importance of human security and the responsibility to protect;  the role of trust, whether between states or between societies and their governments; why exhibiting empathy in negotiations is not a weakness, but rather, sound strategy; why recognizing and understanding human fear is necessary to breaking cycles of violence; and why accountability in politics is a key factor in a healthy society.

Jasmine highlights the need for a people-centered approach to national security and domestic and foreign policy. She invites audience feedback and encourages listeners to engage with the podcast as it moves into its second season.

This week, the view is from Jasmine.
