The fifteenth Duck of Minerva podcast features Barry Buzan. Professor Buzan discusses his academic and intellectual biography, his major works, and his ongoing projects. For additional background readers might consult the interview at Theory Talks or at the London School of Economics Department of International Relations blog.  In short, Buzan is a toweringly influential figure in international relations in general, and outside the US in particular. He is also, among numerous contributions to the discipline, a former editor of the European Journal of International Relations.
Thanks for clearing up how the podcast links work for me. I kept downloading m4a files and wondering why my player failed to run them. I’m really looking forward to listening to Buzan.
Along similar lines, I can’t listen to ay of the mp3 files I download prior to podcast 10. Is there a reason for this, apart from my technological ineptitude? Great site by the way, which I stumbled across completely by accident. I’m also looking forward to Buzan, who I have mixed feelings about after reading Regions and Powers
1-9 are currently only available in m4a format. See: https://tinyurl.com/bk9xvwm
Six degrees of Barry Buzan. Love it! Thank you for all the interviews with these scholars, both upcoming and established.
I saw him on a panel at ISA. That was awesome. Looking forward to listening.
Hi there – thanks for linking to the LSE International Relations Department blog above. However, the blog has now moved and so the link you want to Barry Buzan’s interview can now be found at https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/internationalrelations/2011/05/05/interview-with-professor-barry-buzan/ – please could you update the link? Many thanks! IR Web Editor
Really enjoyed this podcast. Just thought I’d mention that Andrew Phillips who was talked about in the podcast briefly is at University of Queensland, not ANU.
