Jeremy Garlick, a scholar of China's international relations and Director at the Jan Masaryk Centre, discusses the intriguing intersection of evolutionary psychology and international relations. He delves into how evolutionary frameworks can refine our understanding of global dynamics, scrutinizes the competition between nations, particularly the U.S. and China, and highlights the influence of emotions in diplomacy. Garlick also tackles the complexities of cooperation, altruism, and the often-overlooked role of hierarchy among nations.
