    S3E10: Cold War Espionage, Declining Empires and Geopolitical Analysis w/ Prof. Alfred W. McCoy
    Jan 20 2026
    Brian is joined by Professor Alfred W. McCoy, one of the world's foremost historians of empire, intelligence, and covert power, for a wide-ranging conversation that reframes how we understand the Cold War, the rise and fall of imperial powers — and the world we're living in today. Prof. McCoy, a Yale Ph.D., is the Fred Harvey Harrington Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and author of several widely cited books on geopolitics, empire, and intelligence, tracing the role of covert operations, narcotics economies, and surveillance systems in the exercise of American global power. Rather than focusing on the familiar story of Washington versus Moscow, nuclear standoffs, and summit diplomacy, Professor McCoy takes us inside the global Cold War: a shadow conflict fought through espionage, proxy wars, coups, and covert operations across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe. Drawing from his latest book, Cold War on Five Continents, he explains how intelligence agencies became tools of empire, how local actors shaped global outcomes, and why many of today's geopolitical crises are direct legacies of this era. The discussion includes an analysis of current, global geopolitical trends as well as the economics, technologies and demographic factors driving them. This is a conversation about how empires rise and fall, the importance of covert power in shaping the world we live in, and what history teaches us as we enter a new period of great-power competition in the 21st century. If you're interested in geopolitics, intelligence, history, empire, or the deeper forces shaping today's global order, this episode will challenge your assumptions and expand your perspective. 📘 Professor McCoy's latest book: Cold War on Five Continents: A Global History of Empire and Espionage 👉 https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2631-cold-war-on-five-continents 🔔 Subscribe for more long-form conversations with leading thinkers, journalists, and experts shaping our understanding of the world.
