Challenges and Reflections on UK Politics and Governance

This week, Jeremi and Zachary are joined by William James to discuss the recent elections in Britain in the context of Brexit, Keir Starmer, and how they reflect the current state of democracy in Britain and beyond. Zachary sets the scene with his poem entitled, "Sonnet for Our Special Friends." Dr William D. James is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Grand Strategy at King’s College, London. In 2024 he published British Grand Strategy in the Age of American Hegemony. Dr. James' research has also been published in the European Journal of International Security, International Politics, War on the Rocks, and other journals. William earned a DPhil in International Relations from the University of Oxford in 2019.
