About this episode

A discussion on the Monroe Doctrine and its implications in contemporary geopolitics with guest Neeraj Mishra.

A discussion with Neeraj Mishra, the host of the Sochkoudaan podcast, on the Monroe Doctrine through time and its continuation into the Donroe Doctrine. We discuss the removal of Nicolas Maduro and the Iran conflict in the context of the doctrine as well as the evolving role of the United States on the world stage. This discussion was loosely based on his Substack post , The Monroe Doctrine Looks Different from 7,000 Miles Away. Guest Neeraj Mishra: I grew up in a small country squeezed between giants. Now I live inside the biggest one. I write about what that dual vision reveals about power, foreign policy, and the playbooks.
