The Map is a Manifesto: 5 Truths About Global Power That Your Textbooks Missed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A lot of IR teaching still treats power like physics: measure enough variables and the world becomes predictable. But power is also language, maps, identity, and what we choose not to count. This piece breaks down five post-positivist truths that change how you read headlines, borders, and “common sense". Takeaway #1: Knowledge is a Tool, Not a Mirror For decades, mainstream International Relations (IR) was dominated by "Problem-Solving Theory." This approach takes the world’s existing power str
Why International Politics Is a Work of Fiction (and Why That’s Dangerous) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
International politics feels like steel and borders, but much of it is held together by shared beliefs. This episode unpacks the constructivist turn and why “reality” in world affairs is built, maintained, and sometimes weaponised through language, identity, and norms. We also explore the danger: when scholars treat constructed reality as neutral common sense, power gets to define what counts as “real”. #WaihigaKMuturi #LetsCreateAfrica #CreatorOfOpportunities #WaihigaIsImpact #TechDiplomacy #Af
The Hidden Code of Global Conflict (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Global politics rarely has one clear “X-ray” explanation. This episode breaks down five counterintuitive truths that shape today’s conflicts: domestic interest groups driving state choices, why some weapons feel scarier than bigger arsenals, the logic behind the “separate peace” among democracies, Wendt’s claim that anarchy is socially made, and Hollis and Smith’s “two stories” rule. If you work in policy, media, or tech, this framework helps you read the news with sharper instincts and fewer il
How Liberalism Prevents War Between Democracies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Democracies do not just cause peace among themselves; they also face deep tensions with outsiders. In this episode, we unpack five counter-intuitive truths about liberal peace and explore what they mean for policy, technology, and development in Africa and the Global South. We discuss why the assumption that democracy equals peace is flawed and how institutions that produce restraint among allies can provoke conflict elsewhere. 1. The Paradox of the "Crusade for Freedom"In June 1982, President R
The ruthless logic of global power politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The realist orders a half-empty glass because the world is not built on trust; it is built on incentives. In this short breakdown, I walk through five lessons realism keeps forcing us to relearn: the security dilemma; the costs of moral crusades; why sovereignty still shapes Moscow’s instincts; how the Quad reflects balancing not friendship; and why Hobbes and Machiavelli still haunt modern statecraft. If you work in policy, tech diplomacy, or development, realism is not a mood; it is a discipli
