    Two PMs and Two Monarchs Within a Week - A Shock To The System?

    In this episode of Strategikon, John speaks with intelligence analyst and former British Royal Navy Officer CDRE Patrick J. Tyrrell OBE RN (RET’D), about the recent political and monarchical changes occurring within the UK.

    Patrick discusses how King Charles III has been settling in and whether the monarch should have skipped a generation, as well as the functional role which the Royal Family plays within UK and Commonwealth civics.  

    Lizz Truss has also taken over the conservative party leadership from Boris Johnson and has inherited some major strategic problems, including the war in Ukraine, growing inflation and a coming food crisis. Patrick gives his take on how PM Truss will tackle the problems facing the country, while also taking a broader look at the issues which many liberal democracies are currently having to contend with.

    Hitting Reset - Australia’s Foreign Policy Challenges Under Albanese

    Hitting Reset - Australia’s Foreign Policy Challenges Under Albanese

    John is joined by the editor of Australian Foreign Affairs Magazine, Jonathan Pearlman, for a discussion about how Australia’s new Albanese government will approach foreign policy.

    They discuss the current status of The Quad, with a focus on India’s curious position within the group. How does the rising South Asian power’s tradition of non-alignment affect The Quad’s progress and furthermore, could India’s poor human rights record affect the group’s cohesion?

    Jonathan also explains how Australia’s historically rigid approach to foreign policy and diplomacy, must become more adaptable amid the shifting power dynamics within the Asia-Pacific region.

    Looking Through Peter Zeihan’s Glass, Darkly - A Vision of Deep Global Change

    Looking Through Peter Zeihan’s Glass, Darkly - A Vision of Deep Global Change

    In this episode of Strategikon, John and David break down a recent book from geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan, called The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the end of globalization.

    Zeihan predicts the unraveling of globalization as we currently know it, to a world where states / regions will have to secure their own access to food, energy and security whilst simultaneously managing climate change and aging populations.

    After analyzing the validity of Zeihan’s thesis, John and David map out what this dark reality means for Australia’s future and how key regional relationships will play a major role in helping our region evade catastrophe.
