Episode 16 | Prof. James Ker-Lindsay: Academic Expert and Geopolitical YouTube Star
James Ker-Lindsay is a British professor of international relations whose studies focus on peace and security issues. He teaches courses on conflict resolution and is an occasional advisor to the British foreign office. However, he is probably best known for his YouTube channel, which provides clear, easily digestible, yet in-depth backgrounds to a wide range of the world’s unsolved conflicts, quasi-nations and new states. Though his presentations span the globe, his main region of expertise is Southeast Europe, notably the Balkans and Cyprus. In today’s podcast, he makes some fascinating comparisons between conflicts in that zone and those in the Caspian region and points out key ramifications of geopolitical lessons that have been learned.
