Do economic sanctions work? Are big democracies any good at spreading democracy? What is the root cause of terrorism? It turns out that data analysis can help answer all these questions — and make better foreign-policy decisions.
Interesting listen, particularly the first part on the efficacy of economic sanctions. Great to make connections between Global Politics and TOK as far as how we know what we know (whether a certain policy approach is effective).
