Professor Michael Clarke on Pivoting in Foreign Policy

Foreign policy, defence and international trade and more closely intertwined than ever in the 2020s: governments must approach them holistically rather than in silos.

In this episode, Eliot Wilson talks to Professor Michael Clarke, former head of the Royal United Services Institute, about the UK’s Integrated Review and how far it represents a break from traditional thinking on our place in the world.

They discuss the increasing threat of China, the post-Brexit identity of “Global Britain” and how the UK can maintain a powerful voice on the world stage despite financial pressures on its armed forces and the transformation of international relations by technology."
