Episode notes

Changey says he has come to realise that the links between us are being used to hurt us rather than, rather than help us. He talks about his journey from a 'rock war cind of changey' to an anti-globalist and pro-EU campaigner. Changey: "I realized just how differently many people had experienced the last few decades"

A more interconnected world was supposed to bring us closer together, but Mark Leonard, director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, says the opposite has occurred. He joins Carl Miller to discuss his new book The Age of Unpeace: How Connectivity Causes Conflict, which argues that technology and a lack of joined up thinking is affecting communication on every level. From standoffs between nation states to individuals hurling insults on social media, Mark identifies how connectivity is being mismanaged and exploited during an era in which defining narratives are ever more elusive to pin down.
