In this episode of the DM-Mi Podcast, Sukh Hayre speaks with Dr Philip Cunliffe, Associate Professor of International Relations at University College London and author of The National Interest: Politics After Globalisation.
Philip argues that the era of globalisation is coming to an end, with governments reshoring critical industries, reorganising supply chains and reconsidering their economic and security relationships. The conversation explores what the return of the national interest could mean for democracy, political accountability and the ability of governments to act on behalf of their own citizens.
Sukh and Philip also discuss Brexit as a challenge to technocratic politics, the limitations of international law, the idea of a global polycrisis and whether BRICS can realistically become a counterweight to American power. They examine Donald Trump’s use of tariffs, the prospects for US reindustrialisation, China’s demographic challenges and the future role of India.
Looking ahead, Philip predicts a more fragmented international system shaped primarily by competition between the United States and China. He explains why Europe may become a battleground for wider geopolitical rivalries and explores the historical and psychological forces behind Europe’s increasingly hostile relationship with Russia.
A wide-ranging discussion about globalisation, national sovereignty, democracy, Brexit, international relations and the geopolitical forces likely to shape the next decade.
