How Has Economic Power Become Central to US Strategy?

vendredi 19 décembre 2025 • Durée 04:36

Welcome back to The Security Affair, the flagship podcast from the Centre for International Security and Economic Strategy (CISES), where we examine the ideas, events, and decisions shaping global security and diplomacy.

Hosted by Alexander Anderson, Director of Policy at CISES, this episode asks: how has economic power become central to U.S. strategy? Alexander is joined by Liam Walsh, whose work focuses on U.S. foreign policy and the role of economic strategy in national security.

Together, they explore how Washington increasingly treats economic strategy as national security, drawing on the 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy and the growing emphasis on supply chains, industrial policy, and control over strategic economic networks. The conversation examines how economic coercion, financial power, and emerging technologies are reshaping American statecraft in an era where direct military confrontation is constrained by nuclear deterrence.

They discuss whether the U.S. is redefining — rather than abandoning — the post-war rules-based order; how initiatives such as Pax Silica reflect a shift toward network-based competition; and what this means for American strategy toward China, allies, and middle powers. The episode also considers the role of military power alongside economic tools, including recent U.S. actions in cases such as Venezuela, and the risks of growing fragmentation in the global economy.

Liam reflects on the limits of national security strategies as guiding documents, the dangers policymakers may be underestimating, and what listeners should take away when thinking about economic power in contemporary U.S. grand strategy.

Next Friday, we’ll turn to how gender shapes nuclear governance and what it means for global security and nuclear strategy.

The Russia-China Axis: Myths, Reality and Future

vendredi 12 décembre 2025 • Durée 27:52

Welcome back to The Security Affair, the flagship podcast from the Centre for International Security and Economic Strategy (CISES), where we examine the ideas, events, and decisions shaping global security and diplomacy.

Hosted by Alexander Anderson, Director of Policy at CISES, this episode turns to one of the most consequential relationships in contemporary geopolitics: the Russia–China partnership. Alexander is joined by Zorawar Gill, Policy Analyst at CISES, whose research spans China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Together, they explore whether this partnership represents strategic alignment, pragmatic cooperation, or an unequal relationship shaped by necessity. The conversation looks at how Moscow and Beijing have deepened ties across energy, military exercises, and diplomatic coordination; how regional conflicts from Ukraine to the Indo-Pacific influence their calculus; and whether growing asymmetries could generate friction over time. They also examine the partnership’s impact on smaller states, India’s security planning, and the future of global governance.

Zorawar reflects on the myths and realities surrounding the “Russia–China axis,” discusses what we often overlook, and offers guidance for understanding the limits and possibilities of this evolving relationship.

Next Friday, we’ll turn to how gender shapes nuclear governance and what it means for global security and nuclear strategy.

How is Information Reshaping Global Power?

vendredi 5 décembre 2025 • Durée 30:35

Welcome back to The Security Affair, the flagship podcast from the Centre for International Security and Economic Strategy (CISES), where we explore the ideas, events, and decisions shaping global security and diplomacy.

Hosted by Alexander Anderson, Director of Policy at CISES, this episode examines how information has become a central arena of international competition. Alexander is joined by Bandish Oza, Policy Analyst at CISES, whose research focuses on South Asia and the use of narratives in democracy and security as tools of influence.

Together, they discuss how states craft and contest narratives, why influence operations unfold long before crises begin, and how digital platforms, algorithms, and private companies shape the information environment. The conversation also explores the blurred line between strategic communication and coercive influence, the challenges democracies face in defending themselves without overreach, and the ways smaller states and non-state actors have gained new leverage in the information age.

Bandish reflects on key examples from around the world, explains why information matters much more in peacetime than in conflict, and offers insights on how democracies can fight disinformation without overreach and censorship.

Next Friday, we’ll turn to the evolving Russia–China partnership and what it means for global security and great-power politics.

How Powerful is North Korea's Diplomacy (Part 2)

lundi 1 décembre 2025 • Durée 20:07

Welcome back to The Security Affair, the flagship podcast from the Centre for International Security and Economic Strategy (CISES), exploring the ideas, events, and decisions shaping global security and diplomacy.

Hosted by Alexander Anderson, Director of Policy at CISES, this episode continues our discussion on North Korea’s foreign policy with Fleur Boehm, Policy Analyst at CISES. Part 2 examines how shifting geopolitical dynamics — from the Russia–Ukraine war to changing U.S. and Japanese policy — shape the prospects for inter-Korean engagement and North Korea’s diplomatic strategy.

Alexander and Fleur explore whether détente is possible under the current U.S. administration, how Washington influences Pyongyang’s regional relationships, and why recognising North Korea as an active diplomatic actor matters for policymakers. Fleur also reflects on what Seoul and Tokyo should consider when engaging with North Korea and shares key takeaways and recommended readings for listeners.

This episode concludes our two-part series on North Korea’s diplomacy.

Next Friday, we’ll turn to the role of information in modern warfare and contemporary societies.

How Powerful is North Korea's Diplomacy

vendredi 21 novembre 2025 • Durée 37:38

Welcome to the first episode of The Security Affair, the flagship podcast from the Centre for International Security and Economic Strategy (CISES), exploring the ideas, events, and decisions shaping global security and diplomacy.

Hosted by Alexander Anderson, Director of Policy at CISES, this episode challenges the familiar “hermit kingdom” image of North Korea. Alexander speaks with Fleur Boehm, Policy Analyst at CISES, about Pyongyang’s overlooked diplomatic partnerships in South and Southeast Asia, how it uses diplomacy to gain international influence, and why media and academic narratives often misrepresent its role.

Part 1 sets the stage for next week’s continuation, which will explore North Korea’s regional strategy, nuclear diplomacy, and the prospects for engagement with South Korea, Japan, and the broader international community.
