Donald Trump has a mandate to do what he promised after winning easily. But how far will he actually go and how fast? And will he try to unite the country a little, as hinted at in his victory speech? Jonathan Swan, who's been covering Trump for close to a decade, warns that Trump's been emboldened to take more risk, and little stands in his way this time. Swan is a reporter for The New York Times covering national politics and the US government but known for his Emmy-award winning interview with Trump when he was president.RECOMMENDATIONS:Hamish:  The Great Global Rebalancing with Dr Samir Puri  - episode of War Studies podcastGeraldine: Noble Fragments: The maverick who broke up the world's greatest book, by Michael VisontayGET IN TOUCH: We'd love to hear from you!

Perhaps one of the most meaningful facts that illustrates the sweeping changes taking place in global affairs is the following: In 1950, nearly one in three people in the world lived in a Western country. By 2050, that number will dwindle to one in ten, bringing with it a wide variety of recalculations by companies, culture, influence, and politics. This demographic change is but one of many interesting pillars supporting the arguments of the Singapore-based political scientist Samir Puri, whose new book, "Westlessness: The Great Global Rebalancing" explores how the gradually diminishing power of the West is mapped onto geoeconomics, technology, popular culture, and identity. In this conversation with host Robert Amsterdam, Puri makes it clear that it is not a total replacement or dislocation of the West from global affairs we will be confronted with, but rather a realignment that has been decades in the making. Puri points to the global economic crisis of 2008 as one of several turning points, when the West's confidence in its economic supremacy began to crack, but also discusses sweeping changes to technology and popular entertainment and global commerce that indicate how the next several decades are quite unlikely to resemble the apex of Western power in postwar period.

The West has always had an outsized influence in the world, but what if this trend is changing? The post cold-war era U.S. and European countries, which represent the foundational pillars of the Western system, have seen their power diminish. Shifts in demographics, economics, military, and cultural terms are indicating a more diverse global future. Wealth is moving from the West to the East, and nations such as India and Indonesia are set to reach new heights of growth and confidence. Is the West prepared for a more diverse global future? The Melbourne launch of Westlessness: The Great Global Rebalancing by Samir Puri. Speakers: Dr Samir Puri (Visiting Lecturer, Department of War Studies, Kings College London) Professor Nick Bisley (Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University) Professor Bec Strating (Director, La Trobe Asia)(Chair) Recorded 9th September, 2024

Are we witnessing the decline of Western power and influence? What could this mean for the future of the global order? In this episode, Dr. Samir Puri—former UK diplomat and Visiting Lecturer in the Department of War Studies—delves into these critical questions and more. We discuss his new book, Westlessness: The Great Global Rebalancing, and explore the shifting dynamics of a world where Western dominance on the global stage is diminishing.

Have we entered a post-Western world? What does that mean and how does it look from the other side of the world? Singapore based academic and former British diplomat has published a new book, Westlessness about this idea and I spoke to him for a wide-ranging discussion on the decline of the west, the rise of Asia and the potential implications.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has long touted the East's rise and the West's decline, the kind of thinking that's triggered his supporters to fantasize about a post-Western geopolitical order. While it's indisputable that U.S. and European countries, which represent the foundational pillars of the Western system, have seen their power diminish in the post-Cold War era, there's little credible evidence of a full-blown collapse of Western influence. Instead, King's College scholar Samir Puri argues in his new book "Westlessness," that the role of the West in the international system is changing and not going away. Samir joins Eric & Cobus from London to discuss the emergence of a new, less Western global order.

After years of negotiations, the European Parliament has approved a major reform tightening the EU's migration and asylum rules. This "migration pact" provides for tighter control of migrant arrivals into the EU, and the introduction of a solidarity mechanism between EU member states concerning the distribution of refugees.

Russia is still reeling from its deadliest terrorist incident in two decades. It is estimated that more than 130 people were killed and scores more injured in Friday's attack on Moscow's Crocus City Hall concert venue. The Islamic State group has said four of its members carried out the attack. Yet Russian officials, and state media, have largely ignored any Islamic State link, focusing almost exclusively on a possible Ukrainian connection. What will Putin do next? And what does this all mean for Russia's war with Ukraine? Dr Samir Puri, Associate Fellow, UK in the World Programme weighs in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ruble has lost roughly a quarter of its value against the dollar since Russia invaded Ukraine last year. Western sanctions have harmed Russia's trade balance, and military spending has soared as the war goes on with no end in sight. In an emergency meeting on Tuesday, Russia's central bank governing board decided to increase interest rates by 3.5 percentage points, reaching 12%.  How will the collapse of the ruble impact Putin's war in Ukraine?

Wagner is a private military company of mercenaries that has been fighting alongside the regular Russian army in Ukraine. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin has for months been involved in a feud with the Russian defence ministry, but he denies trying to overthrow Mr Putin's regime.

My guest today is Dr Samir Puri, who is a visiting lecturer in War Studies at King's College London and has previously taught at Cambridge and John Hopkins. He joined me for a deep dive into his two most recent books. The first one, ‘The Great Imperial Hangover: How Empires Have Shaped the World', explores how empires of the past still influence geopolitics today. And the second one, ‘Russia's Road to War with Ukraine: Invasion amidst the ashes of empires', published in late August, explores the role of imperialism in Putin's ultimate decision to invade Ukraine and traces Ukraine's fate as a nation caught in a geopolitical tug-of-war between Russia and the West. Samir has also served as an international observer at five Ukrainian elections, including during the Orange Revolution in 2004. Soon after the first Donbas war began in 2014, he spent a year in east Ukraine working on both sides of the front line as part of an international ceasefire monitoring mission. Since Russia's latest invasion of Ukraine, Samir's analyses of the war have been featured by the BBC, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and other media outlets. Some of the topics we discussed are: Samir's background and how it influenced his academic interests Defining ‘empire' and understanding the role of its legacy Distinguishing between a formal and informal empire The consequences of waning US hegemony and Pax Americana The importance of history and lineage to national and individual identity Understanding how imperial legacy contributed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine How Western democracies should navigate their imperial legacy The significance of Ukraine for Russia and its imperial legacy Proximity to history as crucial in shaping contemporary narratives ‘Great power contest' as the present narrative Exploring the structural reasons why Ukraine is currently a warzone Understanding NATO and how it might be perceived outside of the alliance Samir's assessment of how the Russian invasion of Ukraine ends Exploring the impact of the Russian invasion on Chinese post-imperial aspirations Samir's greatest concern as we head into 2023

For Dr Samir Puri, the warning signs of the bloodshed and slaughter that Russia would one day impose upon Ukraine had been there for years.

Join us for a chat in which we ask who he would give the book to (and, crucially, when!), what the future of the conflict is with winter fast approaching and whether there are any parallels with the relationship between China and Taiwan.

In this episode, host Meia Nouwens is joined by Dr Samir Puri, IISS Senior Fellow in Urban Security and Hybrid Warfare, and Antônio Sampaio, Senior Analyst at the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime, to discuss how technology impacts urban security and the democratic landscapes of cities. With over half of the world's population living in cities, new technologies, such as smart cities or surveillance tech, have increasingly been leveraged to make life in cities safer and more efficient. This includes leveraging technology to combat crime and terrorism, to respond to natural disasters or to improve the quality of life of citizens. New technologies are also starting to play an important role in political landscapes, for example by connecting people in protest movements. But these technologies can also be leveraged to other ends: to suppress protesters and restrict freedom of speech. We hope you enjoy listening to the episode.

In this episode, Meia Nouwens is joined by Dr Samir Puri, The IISS' new Senior Fellow for Hybrid Warfare, for a discussion about the concept of ‘hybrid warfare' and its potential applications in the Asia-Pacific. Having observed the realities of hybrid warfare in the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, Samir highlights the differences between ‘grey zone' and ‘hybrid warfare' activities.Meia and Samir then explore the possible applications of hybrid warfare in the Asia-Pacific, with a particular focus on how China could expand its regional influence through hybrid strategies and tactics. Samir also predicts that grey zone activity will likely become an increasingly common feature in international affairs in the 2020s as the United States clashes with China's efforts to establish its own informal empire. As a result, Samir suggests Western powers may need to revisit their hybrid warfare capabilities in this new multi-polar world order. We hope you enjoy listening to the episode.

Although it's over 50 years since most colonies achieved their independence from Britain, on these shores we still seem to living in the shadows of the Empire. Dr SAMIR PURI, author of 'The Great Imperial Hangover: How Empires Have Shaped the World' talks to Arthur Snell about why Britain is so obsessed with its imperial past, what the ‘Anglosphere' is, and whether the EU is the modern day empire."For all the talk of globalisation, it's what we inherit from our immediate past that still has the greatest traction in setting us in motion.""Arguing for and against the benefits of empire is a circle that cannot be squared""The imperial age is over, but its influence hangs over us, and sometimes threatens to darken our future"Presented by Arthur Snell.
