In the eleventh episode of the Political Science Podcast, Višeslav Raos interviewed Lidija Kos-Stanišić, head of the Department of International Relations and Security Studies at the Faculty of Political Science in Zagreb, co-author of the book International Relations and Foreign Policies of the Global South: Studies of Selected Countries, written together with Đana Luša and Borna Zgurić. The conversation moved from the introductory theoretical, methodological and sub-disciplinary topics of the relationship between symbolic and real space, the selection of cases and units of analysis, and the relationship between comparative politics and international relations, to the juicier analysis of Latin American politics. Kos-Stanišić commented on the election of the president Milei and the policies of austerity and gender equality in Argentina, the relationship between the USA and Mexico regarding migration flows and politics, the upcoming presidential elections in Mexico and the situation in Venezuela. In the end, the interlocutors soberly dissected the idea of a demographic renewal of Croatia by the means of the return of the descendants of the Croatian emigration to South America, primarily to Argentina and Chile.
