The Global Arms Trade - with Andrew Feinstein
Show Notes

In the wake of the Court of Appeal ruling that UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia are illegal given war crimes in Yemen, we talk to expert Andrew Feinstein about his life exposing the global sale of arms. We pull apart the nature of this trade, discuss some little known facts about it and consider how it is perceived and portrayed in British society.

Join us as we discuss:

  • The corruption and power of the global arms trade
  • Andrew Feinstein's journey - what drove him to do this work?
  • How the arms trade is culturally depicted and widely perceived
  • Connections between the arms trade, government, universities, industry and civil society
  • Looking ahead - what hope is there in challenging the global arms trade?
