To discuss, Jim Braude was joined by Jim Walsh, a senior research associate at MIT’s Security Studies Program; Monica Duffy Toft, a professor of international politics and director of the Center for Strategic Studies at Tuft’s Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy; and Gautam Mukunda, a fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and the author of ‘Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter.’
