About the Lecture
Engaged Buddhism describes a global form of socially and politically active Buddhism that emerged in the 1960s, and has transformed both the Buddhist religion and the world ever since. The Vietnamese monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh coined the term; ever since, he and other Asian Buddhist leaders embraced it in building Buddhist movements for waging peace, claiming rights, and enacting justice. The late 1990s and early 2000s saw a spike in scholarship on Engaged Buddhism in Asia that has not been seen since.

Between 2013 and 2020, Venezuela suffered the worst economic contraction in recorded Latin American history. We explore the role that poor policies, political conflict ,and external pressure had on the country’s economic implosion. We contend that poor policy choices, while important as an explanation, are insufficient to account for the magnitude of the contraction. We argue that the worsening of the country’s political crisis led to the loss of access to financial and oil markets and ultimately to the imposition of US economic sanctions, which contributed significantly to deepening the country’s economic implosion. …

How Germans understood Austria-Hungary reveals much about their own imperial ambitions during the First World War. Historians tend to imagine that Germans perceived their ally in much the same way as many casual observers still do today: as sclerotic, anachronistic, riven by nationalist conflict, and fated to disintegrate along ethnic lines. This interpretation is misleading. Drawing upon the writings of wartime journalists and politicians, this talk argues that many influential German imperialists understood the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a model to be followed. Pointing to Austria-Hungary’s cohesion in the first months of the war, they insisted that multiethnic states were not fragile, but rather capable of enduring severe external shocks. They urged Berlin to emulate Austria-Hungary’s historically tolerant approach to governing nationally diverse space. Indeed, these German imperialists interpreted the First World War as a titanic contest between two opposing models of political organization. They framed Germany and Austria-Hungary as defenders of multinational empire, preserving the ideal of pluralism against the nationalist movements and nationalizing states which threatened to tear Europe apart. They imagined a postwar European future, in which reinvigorated multinational empires would harmonize the interests of multiple national identities, incubating cultural diversity and contributing to human progress.…
