  • Summary

  • Professor John J. Mearsheimer is widely regarded as one of the most influential political scientists in history. I like to refer to him as the “rockstar of geopolitics.” The professor at the Universtiy of Chicago is known for his bold and often provocative views rooted in offensive realism. Mearsheimer argues that great powers are locked in an endless struggle for dominance, shaping global politics through competition and conflict. In this interview, we bring Mearsheimer to Berlin to explore his insights on today’s most pressing issues. We delve into the crucial questions defining our world right now: Which U.S. president would best handle current geopolitical tensions, and why is the U.S. seemingly uninterested in pursuing peace in Ukraine? Mearsheimer shares his take on the growing anti-establishment sentiment in the West, Germany's evolving role in international politics, and the serious possibility of World War III and nuclear conflict. We also cover the dynamics of the Israel-Gaza conflict, why Israel might want U.S. involvement in a conflict with Iran, and the implications of BRICS in a multipolar world. Wrapping up, he offers candid reflections on his career as a renowned professor, providing a rare look into the mind of a geopolitical icon.
