From the ashes of World War II to today’s battlefield technologies, proxy conflicts, and global power rivalries, this episode uncovers how war has evolved — and how our capacity to resist it has weakened. We unpack the rise and decline of liberal internationalism, the effectiveness (and failure) of institutions like the United Nations, and the paradox of humanitarian intervention. We ask why war, once seen as a last resort, has become politically and economically normalized — even incentivized — in modern international relations. Along the way, we revisit landmark ideas from key thinkers and diplomats and explore competing narratives about peace, power, and what it means to defend humanity without perpetuating endless violence. Whether you're an international relations student, a policymaker, or someone simply trying to understand why we live in such volatile times, this episode will leave you asking: Are we truly committed to peace, or just afraid of losing war?","meta_description":"In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Diplomacy and Discourse , host A.R. explores one of the most urgent questions of our time: Can the world…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2886,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/diplomacy-and-discourse-podcast-6570019/episodes/15-can-the-world-still-say-no-to-war/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/diplomacy-and-discourse-podcast-6570019/15-can-the-world-still-say-no-to-war.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
