We live in a world of chaos, with Western democracies facing overlapping geopolitical, economic, and political crises. How did we get here? Professor Helen Thompson is co-host of the Talking Politics podcast – and she was Ahir Shah’s Director of Studies at University. They unpack her new book Disorder, how the fault lines in the Sino-American relationship, NATO, and the EU have all been decades in the making, and the “crisi-tunities” for years to come.
- “Most of the commentary on Brexit and Trump was far too superficial.”
- “So long as oil has a place in our energy supply, then the geopolitics of oil come with it.”
- “There's a genuine political fear in Washington that the geopolitical winner of green energy will be China.”
- “We're living in a world where supply and demand is much more complicated.”
