Jeremy Hunt: Democracy’s Defeat Is Not Inevitable

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

In this latest Conflicted Conversation, Thomas talks with Tory MP Sir Jeremy Hunt. Over fourteen years of Conservative government, Hunt served as Culture Secretary, Health Secretary, Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer. But in this discussion, Jeremy draws especially on his eventful year running the Foreign Office to argue against Western defeatism and to make the case for liberal democracy.

Sir Jeremy discusses:

 The view from inside power during Britain’s 2010–2024 crisis years

 Britain’s imperial inheritance, post-Brexit identity, and the “Global Britain” problem

 Trump’s 2018 NATO shock and Hunt’s case for higher European defence spending

 China, Russia and Iran as the new autocratic challenge to liberal democracy

 Yemen and the Stockholm Agreement as a tragic test of humanitarian diplomacy

 Iran, hostage diplomacy, the JCPOA and the limits of Western coercive power
