In this episode of KCL Department of War Studies podcast, Dr Nafees Hamid speaks with Dr Iain McGilchrist about how the brain’s left and right hemispheres attend to the world in fundamentally different ways. They explore how shifts in hemispheric dominance have shaped trust, institutions and the rise and fall of civilisations throughout history, and what this means for how governments, mediators and practitioners build, and lose, legitimacy in fragile and conflict-affected settings today.
