A Commonwealth country's trade with another member is likely to be a third to a half more than with a non-member – so concluded an influential 2010 paper, “Trading Places: The ‘Commonwealth Effect' Revisited” by Joanna Bennett, Paul Chappell, Howard Reed, and Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah, sponsored by the Royal Commonwealth Society and the Worshipful Company of World Traders. The UK experienced the Brexit vote of 2016 and leaving the EU in 2021, while the world has experienced a tremendous amount of geopolitical change, even war. Trade agreements proliferate, while trade relations become more fraught and less multi-lateral. Some pundits claim that globalisation is going into retreat. How can the UK grow its role in world trade using this Commonwealth Advantage? This webinar draws upon the work of Lord Marland and the Commonwealth Enterprise & Investment Council in growing the business and economic links among Commonwealth countries to explore what the future of intra-Commonwealth trade may hold, and what the role of the Commonwealth as a trade association might presage. Speaker: Lord Marland is chairman of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council. He retired as the Prime Minister's Trade Envoy and chairman of the business ambassador network on 1 January 2014. Lord Marland is the former chairman of the Commonwealth Business Council and was Minister for the Department of Energy and Climate Change in 2010 and subsequently for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.

Winston Churchill’s outsized role and oratory in wartime, from the Great Boer War at the turn of the century to World War II, are well known. Beyond politics and battle, Churchill also displayed a keen interest in technological development and scientific advancement, the subject of today’s podcast, which is part 2 of a two-part series. To explore Churchill’s connection to science and technology, I interviewed Jim Muller. Jim is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alaska Anchorage. He is one of the world’s foremost authorities on Winston Churchill as well as the academic chairman of the Churchill Centre and the author of many works on Churchill.

The 20th century was a time of unparalleled advancement in science and technology, along with the associated destruction caused by two world wars.  I think the most important person to positively influence the 20th century was Winston Churchill.  His importance was especially pronounced during World War II, in which his leadership may well have saved the world from long-term Nazi tyranny.  But Churchill played key roles in many realms of life, and especially in literature.  Indeed, Churchill was awarded the 1953 Nobel Prize for literature, which is certainly not the typical achievement of a politician.  Churchill also displayed a keen interest in technological development and scientific advancement, the subject of today’s podcast, which is part 1 of a two-part episode.  To explore Churchill’s connection to science and technology, I interviewed Jim Muller.  Jim is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alaska Anchorage.  He is one of the world’s foremost authorities on Winston Churchill as well as the academic chairman of the Churchill Centre and the author of many works on Churchill.
