We're joined by Dr. Guy Burton and Dr. Francesco Belcastro, the hosts of The FootPol Podcast, for a discussion on what makes football political. 'Politics and football shouldn't mix' or 'Politics has nothing to do with football' are thrown around quite a lot, but the fact remains that politics and football do mix, and have always had something to do with each other. This episodes picks apart some of the many ways in which politics and football interact with each other, while also talking about Francesco and Guy's experiences from podcasting.

The venerable London dealer's managing director, Guy Burton, takes us on a tour of the upgraded premises, where historical grandeur meets innovative retail experience.
Hamas and Israel have executed a brief truce of 7 days. The much-needed window saw Hamas in Gaza released more than 100 hostages in return for more than 200 Palestinians freed from prisons in Israel. However, the war has left hundreds of thousands of civilians either dead or displaced, and these horrors are continuing. Global powers have been trying to wield their influence over the conflict. China held a high-level meeting at the UN on the crisis this week. Western powers like the U.S. and the EU have sent their diplomats to Israel. So what is China's official position on the issue? Has the U.S., arguably the nation with the most amount of influence over the issue, done enough? Host Liu Kun is joined by Dr. Lee Pei May, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the International Islamic University Malaysia; Dr. Guy Burton, Adjunct Professor at the Department of International Affairs, Vesalius College in Brussels; Dr. Wang Jin, Associate Professor at Northwest University in China.
A week into the Israel-Hamas war, the crisis is continuing to escalate. The surprise weekend attack by Hamas was the biggest single mass killing of Israelis since 1948. Israel is retaliating by targeting the Gaza Strip, a small territory that has been under the control of Hamas since 2007. In this edition of the program, we continue to explore the underlying issues behind this crisis, and whether it will spiral into a bigger conflict. Host Ding Heng is joined by Dr. Guy Burton, Adjunct Professor at the Department of International Affairs, Vesalius College in Brussels; Dr. Wang Jin, Middle East expert and Associate Professor with Northwest University in Xi'an, China; Ricardo Laremont, Professor of Political Science and Sociology with the State University of New York in Binghamton.
Plans are underway to build a new trade corridor connecting India to Europe via the Middle East. US, India, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates announced the project during the recent G20 summit. The European Union, France, Italy and Germany are also involved. In this edition of the program, we explore the geopolitics behind this project, as well as the prospect of the actual constructions surrounding it. Host Ding Heng is joined by Mohammed Saqib, CEO of the Bureau of Research on Industry and Economic Fundamentals, a New Delhi-based consultancy; Guy Burton, Adjunct Professor at the Department of International Affairs, Vesalius College in Brussels; Yin Zhiguang, Professor of International Politics at Fudan University.
On this episode of SEPADPod Simon speaks with Eyad Al Refai, Aziz Alghashian, Guy Burton and Francesco Belcastro about Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom's growing influence in global football. Eyad, Aziz, Guy and Francesco all work at the interplay of football and politics in the Middle East, while Aziz and Eyad have experience of attending games in Saudi Arabia. On this episode, Simon and the group discuss the rising prominence of football in Saudi Arabia, reflecting on why the Kingdom has become involved in football, how it is funded, the global economy of football, its role in Vision 2030, the interplay of football and politics, the Kingdom's oldest football team, sports washing, sectarianism and nationalism. There's a lot of coverage of football in the Kingdom, a great deal of which is beset by orientalist, xenophobic and Islamophobic assumptions. This podcast seeks to challenge this, offering a considered discussion of Saudi Arabia's role in the beautiful game.
Chinese President Xi Jinping talks with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Beijing. How will Lula's trip further boost China-Brazil relations?

It's been a year since Donald Trump sat on the South Lawn of the White House with Benjamin Netanyahu and the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. They all gathered in the September sun to sign what's been dubbed the ‘Abraham Accords', an agreement between Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain to normalize relations, establish embassies and, essentially, begin trading relationships with one another. Since then, Morocco and Sudan have joined too. The agreements have been widely criticized by Palestinian activists and politicians, who see them as the Gulf states relieving pressure on Israel over their occupation of the West Bank and besiegement of Gaza, together with the abuses that have come to characterize Israel's relationship with the Palestinians over the decades. In this episode of The Gateway, Nicholas Prichard spoke to Dr. Guy Burton, Visiting Fellow at the LSE Middle East Centre and an Adjunct Professor of International Relations at Vesalius College in Brussels. Guy has worked in universities in the Middle East and writes on China's interests in the region, too. Nicholas began by asking how Dr. Burton would characterize the Abraham Accords one year on.

The government of Lebanon resigned following days of protests as citizens blamed the country’s political elite of incompetence and corruption that lead to a devastating blast at Beirut's which killed hundreds and left thousands injured or homeless. The tragedy came at a time when Lebanon was already facing political, economic and public health crises. Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Guy Burton, Adjunct Professor, Vesalius College, Brussels.
French President Emmanuel Macron's visited Beirut just two days after the horrific blast. In fact, he was on the streets, even before Lebanon's prime minister was. Since then, there's been a petition demanding to "place Lebanon under French mandate for the next ten years". Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Guy Burton, Adjunct Professor, Vesalius College, Brussels if anyone taking this seriously?
How do aspiring and established rising global powers respond to conflict? Since the People’s Republic was established in 1949, China has long been involved in the Middle East and its conflicts, from exploiting or avoiding them, to their management, containment or resolution. This webinar will examine China’s engagement with the region’s conflicts including: Israel/Palestine; Iraq before and after 2003; Sudan and the Darfur crisis; the Iranian nuclear deal; the Gulf crisis; and the wars in Syria, Libya and Yemen. This webinar will explore how a rising, global, non-Western power handles the challenges associated with both violent and non-violent conflict as well as the differences between limiting and reducing violence alongside other ways to eliminate the causes of conflict and grievance. About the speaker Guy Burton is Adjunct Professor at Vesalius College, Brussels and Fellow on the 'Sectarianism, proxies and de-sectarianisation' project at Lancaster University. He has previously held research and teaching positions at the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government in Dubai, Nottingham University’s Malaysia campus, the University of Kurdistan-Hewler in Iraq and Birzeit University in the West Bank.

How have rising power engaged with the Arab-Israeli conflict? What does this tell us about rising powers and conflict management as well as their behaviour in international politics more generally? How have rising power engaged with the Arab-Israeli conflict? What does this tell us about rising powers and conflict management as well as their behaviour in international politics more generally? The book examines these questions in relation to five rising powers - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - and how they have interacted with Israel, the Palestinians and the Arab states since the conflict became internationalsied in 1947. Situating conflict management on a spectrum, between more active and passive modes, the book finds that contrary to expectations, rising powers have adopted a more passive stance to conflict management under Oslo and into the post-Second Intifada period period, especially when compared to some of the countries' more active approach in the first decades after 1947.
