Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Empire: Humanitarian Intervention and Neo-Orientalism
A Panel Discussion Featuring: Tariq Ramadan, Glenn Greenwald, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Jennifer Pitts
The uprisings of the Arab Spring, and the prolonged nature of the internal conflicts in Libya and Syria, have once again sparked debate over the status of international law and the use of military intervention to enforce human rights. However, the discourse over humanitarian intervention has often overlooked the more unsavory aspects of liberal thought and Western power politics. This panel will explore the fundamental problems concerning Neo-Liberalism and its connections to the development of Neo-Orientalist thought. The panel will begin with Professor Pitts providing the historical foundations of liberal thought and its relationship with the colonialist ventures of Western European nations; Professor Bassiouni will then discuss the development of international law in the post-World War era and its use as an instrument to advance the strategic goals of great powers of the Cold War Era; Mr. Greenwald will then contextualize the use of international law and humanitarian intervention to justify U.S. involvement in foreign countries, especially in the Middle East, as well as advance U.S. geo-political strategy in the post-Cold War Era; and it will conclude with a discussion by Professor Ramadan on the academic study of Orientalism, the rise of Neo-Orientalism in conjunction with Neo-Liberalism, and influence of Neo-Orientalist thought in the formation of Neo-Liberalism and political policies towards the Middle East and beyond.

Thanks for the upload!
Made it to about 13 minutes. Didn't even make it to see Glenn greenwold! Ahhhh Audio cutout too many times. 🙃
Wow! As a 2022 russian I can tell that is historical talk. That all became true. Russian invasion to Ukraine. Unrest in taiwan. I am ordinary software engineer in russia who was unhappy with internal politics of our country and became interested in geopolitics right on february 23 2022. And question in my mind right now is "what is next"? Half of the world going to die? For what reason?

If cultures and nationalities cant learn to live together, to seporate luxary from financial need, and look after their own as well as work with others, probably an endless cycle until a single group or single group cooperative of these idiologies come together and are left to persue the future as the last pocket population of humanity. But thats a long road, lets focus on today. Lots to tackle.

The reason some say would be clear - to achieve a better climate. Take some two or four billion people out of this biosphere called earth - and lear jets breath cleaner air sooner, with love lear jets and luxury!
Is there a way to fix the sound? It keeps cutting out.
The sound is horrible... it keeps cutting all the time, and if not cut then you hear echoes...
F for the mic
The censored statements make the speeches difficult to follow.
Why was Tariq Ramadan's sound cut off and on? Was there something that you didn't want others to hear?

They cut him off as a part of a conspiracy to oppress Muslims? :D

There were growing sound problems with first speaker from sound cutouts to voice echoing off walls. A sound system seriously in need of repair and non-fail soundsystem checks before programs begin.

There were sound issues with every single speaker. clearly the sound system was in need of some attention.
