This week, Mike is joined by Chris Capozzola, Professor of History
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to discuss his new
book on the history of U.S.-Philippines relations, Bound by
War. The two discuss the importance of history for informing grand
strategy, and what lessons we can learn from the 1900s, which Dr.
Capozzola argues is the "original" Asian century. Dr. Capozzola
starts with the strategic significance of the United States and the
Philippines to one another, highlighting the geographic location of
the Philippines. He goes on to explain the binational history
between the two countries and how they have shaped one
another. What are the strengths and weaknesses within the
relationship, and how can understanding history help the United
States build a platform for more strategic dialogue with the
Philippines moving forward?
