The Un-Diplomatic Podcast

Post-Liberal International Relations and the End of Ideology, w/ Daniel Bessner | Ep. 308

June 26, 2026·1h 0m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Why is America no longer the global hegemon? What is world order becoming after liberal hegemony? What's happening to international relations as a discipline? What does it mean to say that the era of ideology is over? In what way does Daniel Bessner sort of agree with G. John Ikenberry? Why does the dominance of liberal capitalism means shedding liberalism, and why does that help explain the world's ongoing polycrisis? Dr. Daniel Bessner (from the American Prestige Podcast) joins Dr. Van Jackson to make sense of the world by way of his essay in The Ideas Letter, "Power Without Ideology: Welcome to the Multipolar World."  Read Danny's essay in The Ideas Letter: https://www.theideasletter.org/essay/power-without-ideology/  Listen to The American Prestige: https://americanprestige.supportingcast.fm  Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/  Watch Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast  Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions
