David Hendrickson on Gaza, Alliances and Imperium

This week on Security Dilemma, Patrick Carver Fox and John Allen Gay interviewed the John Quincy Adams Society's president - Dr. David C. Hendrickson. Dr. Hendrickson is president of the John Quincy Adams Society and professor emeritus of political science at Colorado College. He has written many books on U.S. foreign policy, including Republic in Peril: American Empire and the Liberal Tradition (Oxford, 2018), Union, Nation, or Empire: The American Debate over International Relations, 1789-1941 (University Press of Kansas, 2009) and Peace Pact: The Lost World of the American Founding (University Press of Kansas, 2003). His Ph.D. is from Johns Hopkins University. Our conversation today covers a lot of his recent essays about alliance politics and conflict in Gaza. We spend a lot of time covering his essay in The American Conservative "Endgame for Gaza" but we also address his recent article on alliances and an early article on the role of the state. You can read Dr. Hendrickson and John Allen Gay's writing about the legacy of Henry Kissinger and Dr. Hendrickson's most recent writing on Gaza as well. The Arab American poll numbers John cited were quoted from Shadi Hamid's November 29 column. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/29/biden-arab-americans-vote-2024-palestinians-israel/
