One reason we decided to move to WordPress is superior podcast support. Of course, there’s a learning curve involved. So this is a test run of the new podcast feed. If it works, you should have the option of playing my interview with Janice Bially Mattern directly from this post. 

That’s all, folks.

Daniel H. Nexon is a Professor at Georgetown University, with a joint appointment in the Department of Government and the School of Foreign Service. His academic work focuses on international-relations theory, power politics, empires and hegemony, and international order. He has also written on the relationship between popular culture and world politics.

He has held fellowships at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation and at the Ohio State University's Mershon Center for International Studies. During 2009-2010 he worked in the U.S. Department of Defense as a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Fellow. He was the lead editor of International Studies Quarterly from 2014-2018.

He is the author of The Struggle for Power in Early Modern Europe: Religious Conflict, Dynastic Empires, and International Change (Princeton University Press, 2009), which won the International Security Studies Section (ISSS) Best Book Award for 2010, and co-author of Exit from Hegemony: The Unraveling of the American Global Order (Oxford University Press, 2020). His articles have appeared in a lot of places. He is the founder of the The Duck of Minerva, and also blogs at Lawyers, Guns and Money.

    The podcast player may not work properly in Chrome for MacOS. Anyone know why I keep on getting a missing plugin error?

      Works fine for me on Chrome (23.0.1271.6 beta), Dan. Perhaps you can try reinstalling Quicktime? Windows and Linux users will have to install Quicktime, which I don’t exactly like. Is it possible to have podcasts in a different format?

    Would you please provide an .mp3 file? I do not want to install Apple products on my laptop, and I prefer to listen to audio podcasts.

      If you look at our podcasts page you will see that we began providing mp3 versions with episode 10 or so. This is a test run. So don’t worry, you can satisfy whatever anti-apple thing you’ve got going on :-)

        I should have taken the time to see that!
