Shifrinson Interviewed for Podcast on NATO Expansion
Joshua Shifrinson, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed for a podcast on NATO expansion, U.S.-Russia relations, and the upcoming NATO Summit.
Shifrinson was interviewed for a December 2, 2019 episode of the CNAS podcast Brussels Sprouts entitled “Josh Shifrinson and Jim Goldgeier Discuss NATO Expansion.”
Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson’s teaching and research interests focus on the intersection of international security and diplomatic history, particularly the rise and fall of great powers and the origins of grand strategy. He has special expertise in great power politics since 1945 and U.S. engagement in Europe and Asia. Shifrinson’s first book, Rising Titans, Falling Giants: How Great Powers Exploit Power Shifts (Cornell University Press, 2018) builds on extensive archival research focused on U.S. and Soviet foreign policy after 1945 to explain why some rising states challenge and prey upon declining great powers, while others seek to support and cooperate with declining states.
