Gustav Meibauer

Gustav Meibauer, an assistant professor of international relations and author of a new book on no-fly zones, dives into the persistence of this controversial U.S. foreign policy tool. He explores why these zones are often favored despite their spotty results and analyzes key historical cases in Iraq, Bosnia, and Libya. Meibauer reveals how domestic politics and election considerations shape decisions about foreign interventions, with no-fly zones used more as political signals than effective solutions. He also discusses future implications amid global tensions.
