In this episode, Toria Rainy talks to Igor Lukes, Professor of International Relations and History at Boston University about the "civilizing role" of the European Union on the European continent, the politics of hate behind some critiques of the EU's so-called "democratic deficit," and the lingering threat to Europe's future posed by Russia. (Date of interview: April 22, 2016)

EU Futures - Episode 21 - Igor Lukes

Professor Igor Lukes teaches History and International Relations at Boston University and is an associate at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University. He is an expert in Central European history, East European politics, and contemporary Russia as well as an Honorary Consul General of the Czech Republic in New England. He is also a captivating lecturer, storyteller, and the first person to awaken a feminist mindset in me without ever talking about feminism. He simply admired female leaders in history and presented them in such a rational, human way that I immediately became aware of my own prejudice, and how I was taught this prejudice. He greatly assisted me on the road to my unlearning. And it isn't until now, 14 years after taking his class, that we are having our first conversation after exchanging a few cordial emails with mutual admiration and regard to arrange this interview.I'm so pleased to bring you Professor Lukes as he tells us why penile dysfunction led to the French revolution, whether democratic leaders or communist dictators hate their kids more, and describes how future sultans were kept in solitary confinement and fed only by a deaf mute before leading one of the largest empires in history.http://philoofhealth.org/2014/11/czech-please-with-igor-lukes.html
