Paul Harrison Interview on "Buddhism and Politics"

From the Buddhist News Digest:

Jayshree Bajoria of the Council on Foreign Relations recently did an interview with Professor Paul Harrison, who currently holds the George Edwin Burnell Professorship in Religious Studies at Standford University and is a faculty member of the Stanford Center for Buddhist Studies. The interview is entitled "Buddhism and Politics," and deals mainly with the increasing role Buddhist monks have played in modern politics across Asia.

Link to the original post where you can listen to the interview. Dr. Harrison seems to know what he's talking about.
