Hello from a South Korean ballot box! (Tammy wishes.)
This week, Andy and Tammy talk to the political scientist Neta C. Crawford* of Boston University (soon, Oxford University) about the human and ecological costs of the war in Ukraine, the China dimension, and what a global movement for peace should strive for.
Plus: Andy discusses his review essay on Chinese economic history and neoliberalism in The Nation; Tammy freaks out over the imminent South Korean presidential election and reflects on outgoing leader Moon Jae-in; and Andy reveals his secret recipe for Whole Foods salmon poke (YouTube).
Some links:
* Brown’s invaluable Costs of War project, co-directed by Neta
* Neta commenting on war crimes against civilians
* Neta’s forthcoming book, The Pentagon, Climate Change, and War

Today, we talk about the media’s role in deciding who is the “right” type of refugee — and how that helps or hinders displaced people around the world.
