Yale law professor Amy Chua argues in her new book, “Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations,” that both foreign and domestic policymaking must better handle the realities of political tribalism in order to find success. Last week, Harvard law professor and Lawfare co-founder Jack Goldsmith spoke to Chua at the Hoover Book Soiree about her new volume. They discussed where past foreign policy makers overlooked the importance of tribalism, the nature of domestic tribalism in the modern United States, and much more.
