During the interwar period there were some areas in which British politics would change, but in many ways it would be more of the same.

In this episode, Dr Keith Hamilton discusses the vibrant social and administrative history of the nineteenth-century Foreign Office at Whitehall with the CWD's Prof Gaynor Johnson. Dr Hamilton, formerly a historian of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, has evaluated the records and accounts of domestic staff rather than just the higher levels of government agents to create a more comprehensive picture of diplomatic history. This archival work has also served as the foundation for Dr Hamilton's latest book, Servants of Diplomacy. A Domestic History of the Victorian Foreign Office (Bloomsbury, 2021), which is an invaluable complement to his wider work on the history of British diplomacy.

John and Olly discuss Britain's foreign policy aims and policies since 1945. At the end we also look at the present outlook for the UK. 

Dr Stephen Davies, Head of Education at the Institute of Economic Affairs sits down with Imran Ahmad Khan, Member of Parliament for Wakefield, to discuss the future of British foreign policy, free trade and international development. This episode is part of the IEA’s Foreign Affairs series.

What would a realist British foreign policy look like? For this week's #BritainDebrief​ for the Atlantic Council I spoke to Patrick Porter, Professor of International Security at the University of Birmingham, about the weakness of UK grand strategy, strategic sloganeering, the "two Boris Johnsons" in foreign policy and the dangers of seeking to be a "global" Britain.

In the third episode of the Geostrategy360 podcast, host Viktorija questions China expert Charles Parton on what the Integrated Review has to say about China, the UK's Indo-Pacific 'tilt', the issue of Taiwan and what China wants to get out of Britain.

What’s in the mammoth 114-page Integrated Review of Britain’s defence and foreign policy? Should we really be putting aircraft carriers in the South China Sea and lifting the caps on nuclear warheads? And can the Government really re-tilt Britain from Europe to the “Indo-Pacific”? Plus, what will be the fallout from the murder of Sarah Everard and the Met’s disastrous mishandling of a subsequent vigil for policing and women’s safety? Our special guests are Sophia Gaston, Director of the British Foreign Policy group, and former senior advisor to Tony Blair John McTernan. “This review is a totally clean break from the polarised rhetoric of the Brexit era… This is not a pieces of boosterish British exceptionalism. ” – Sophia Gaston “Nuclear decisions are never just about the deterrent. They’re about how you’re perceived at the top table.” – Cath Haddon “Britain wants to be the leading European presence in the Indo-Pacific region… And that means some negotiation with the EU to say the least.” – Sophia Gaston “This doesn’t feel like a properly authored policy. It’s cut and paste. It’s gesture.” – John McTernan Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon and Alex Thomas. Audio production by Alex Rees. Inside Briefing is a Podmasters Production for the IfG.

Prof Gaynor Johnson explores the often-overlooked role civil servants in the formulation of foreign policy, including the role of women in the British Foreign Office. She discusses innovative methodological approaches to the study of diplomatic history, including the use of prosopography. Gaynor has published widely in the field of international history on topics ranging from fanaticism and warfare to interwar appeasement. She led a major AHRC project on British and French attitudes towards European integration between 1919 and 1957. A major preoccupation of her work has been the study of diplomacy and diplomats. She has published studies of Robert Cecil, Eric Phipps and Lord D'Abernon to name but a few. She has been Professor of International History at the University of Kent since 2013. She sits on the executive committees of the British International History Group and the Transatlantic Studies Association and was previously book reviews editor for the International History Review. She is also an Honorary Researcher at the Centre for War and Diplomacy. Gaynor's article 'Women Clerks and Typists in the British Foreign Office, 1920-1960: A Prosopographic Study' has just been published and you can find a full copy here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09592296.2020.1842066 Music credit: Kai Engel, 'Flames of Rome', Calls and Echoes (Southern's City Lab, 2014).

On this edition of Parallax Views, British author and commentator T.J. Coles joins us to discuss the UK's controversial new Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the midst of Brexit. Since June 23rd, 2016, when the U.K. voted in favor of a referendum to leave the European Union, Britain has experienced a sustained period of political turbulence. Who was behind the Brexit campaign? Who were the forces opposing it? What does the British exit from the United Kingdom entail? And, of course, how did this happen? T.J. Coles, author of The Great Brexit Swindle: Why the Mega-Rich and Free Market Fanatics Conspired to Force Britain from the European Union, provides interesting answers to these questions while also unpacking the ideas of neoliberalism, the state of democracy in Britain, criticisms of the EU's technocratic nature, the negative media portrayals of Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn, and parallels between the political economies of the U.K. and the U.S. Articles: "The Tragic Inevitability of Boris Johnson MP" by T.J.

Coles (Clairview Books) See also:Parallax Views Ep. 61: Matthew Alford on Corbyn, Brexit, and the "Union Jackboot" of British Foreign Policy

On this edition of Parallax Views, we travel across the pond to the United Kingdom to discuss Jeremy Corbyn, Brexit, and British foreign policy with Matthew Alford, co-author with T.J. Coles of Union Jackboot: What Your Media and Professors Don't Tell You About British Foreign Policy. The conversation begins with Matthew filling listeners in on his prior work investigating the Pentagon and CIA's little-known role in the entertainment industry. In his books Reel Power and National Security Cinema w/ Tom Secker, Matthew exposes how the military-industrial complex has influenced and manipulated Hollywood films and television show to promote an uncritical image of the national security state and recruit impressionable youths to the war machine. From there we delve into how Matthew came to work on his latest book, Union Jackboot: What Your Media and Professors Don't Tell You About British Foreign Policy, with T.J. Coles. T.J. is, by day, an academic researcher at the Plymouth Institute's Cognition Institute focused on visual impairment and blindness. By night, however, he is an astute analyst, commentator, and investigator of human right abuses and geopolitics related to the United Kingdom and its foreign policy. Matthew gives an insight into T.J., his parallels to Chomsky, and the important insights he provided in the Union Jackboot interviews. We then move onto discussing the rise of the Labour Party's Jeremy Corbyn, whose political leftism has led many to consider him the British equivalent of Bernie Sanders. We discuss the many attacks that have been made on Corbyn including accusations of anti-Semitism. Matthew and I delve into how Corbyn is a throwback to an older version of the Labour Part before the rise of Tony Blair and Third Way neoliberalism. From there we discuss T.J.'s views on Britain's foreign policy and how it has been downplayed in not only the British mainstream media but also many left-wing circles. Matthew also discusses how Britain, although not the Empire it once was, has a great deal of standing in the international scene and still is involved in many foreign policy actions that should be up for criticism. Then we briefly switch our focus to the U.S. with a discussion of Donald Trump and Matthew provides his own English-flavored take on the controversial POTUS. Matthew you and I then have an extended discussion about Brexit and Britain's leaving the European Union (EU). This makes up an entire, fascinating chapter in Union Jackboot that's a must read. Matthew lays out the complicated nature of Brexit and how there are many different factors that lead people to support either Brexit or its Remain opposition. We discuss the way in which anti-immigration sentiment played a role in Brexit and how many of Brexit supporters are the made it's being handled. At the same time, Matthew talks about how racism isn't the only motivator of Brexit. Then we delve into some of the main proponent of the Brexit campaign, specifically Jacob Reese-Mogg and Nigel Farage. In addition, we discuss Boris Johnson and David Cameron, the former Primer Minister who left his position immediately after the Brexit vote came in. And finally we discuss what Brexit could mean in terms of a possible return of The Troubles and what effect it could have on the National Health Service (NHS). Then, before wrapping up the conversation we discuss conspiracy theories with a particular focus on the kookiness that is David Icke and his eccentric belief that shapeshifting reptilians rule the world. During this part of the conversation we also talk about Matthew and T.J.'s appearance on RT and how T.J. has a critical view of state-owned Russian media outlet like RT, Sputnik, etc. Additionally, we discuss T.J.'s observation that elites may actually be the biggest conspiracy theorists of them all. We then wrap up by discussing the humor and energy that permeates Union Jackboot and why listeners should consider giving it a read. UNION JACKBOOT IS AVAILABLE NOW IN HARD COPY AND KINDLE E-READERS!

SPY Historian Vince Houghton sat down with University of Nottingham professor Rory Cormac to discuss the history of British covert action and his newest book, Disrupt and Deny: Spies, Special Forces, and the Secret Pursuit of British Foreign Policy.

In the decades following the Second World War, the British government increasingly turned to covert operations as a means of achieving their foreign policy goals. In Disrupt and Deny: Spies, Special Forces, and the Secret Pursuit of British Foreign Policy (Oxford University Press, 2018), Rory Cormac describes the establishment of covert action as a tool of foreign policy and the various ways in which it was applied. As he explains, covert action was initially seen as a tool of warfare the use of which was inappropriate in times of peace. This view changed with the burgeoning Cold War, as covert actions ranging from propaganda campaigns to direct political and economic manipulations of other countries were often viewed as effective means of achieving British foreign policy goals in ways less expensive and overtly confrontational than more traditional methods. Though the British employed such efforts cautiously in Europe, they were far less restrained in doing the territories of their former empire, believing that such efforts were a useful means of maintaining their influence throughout the world.

The Institute for Government welcomed Lord Owen and David Ludlow, authors of the book British Foreign Policy After Brexit. The authors discussed key themes from the book and were in conversation with Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government. This was followed by a Q and A session. The Rt Hon Lord Owen was a Labour MP for 26 years from 1966-92, serving as Navy Minister, Health Minister and Foreign Secretary in several governments. He was a co-founder of the Social Democratic Party, and its Leader from 1983-87, and the continuing SDP from 1988-90. David Ludlow’s career has spanned the public and private sectors. After stints in the British Embassy in Moscow at the end of the Gorbachev era, he spent two years working with David Owen at the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia.

With Roula Khalaf, Philip Stephens, Janan Ganesh and James Blitz of the Financial Times. Presented by Jonathan Derbyshire. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
