In Part 2 of this episode featuring Professor Tom McNaugher, we discuss East Asian Security Issues in the context of three primary international relations theories: Realism, Liberalism, and Constructivism. We discuss the possible implications of the U.S. withdrawal from Trans Pacific-Partnership negotiations, China’s rising economy, and other regional players such as the Philippines. Professor McNaugher also shares his personal story and provides some valuable advice for those entering the field.

The Security Studies Podcast is produced by Jeffrey Palmer.
