Sir Vince Cable: The Crisis of Liberal Democracy

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 Conflicted Conversation, Thomas talks to Sir Vince Cable, the former leader of the Liberal Democrats in the UK, about his new book Eclipsing the West: China, India and the forging of a new world.

Sir Vince discusses:

 Postcolonial state-building, development economics, and his formative experiences in Kenya

 Globalisation, financialisation, and the legacy of the 2008 financial crisis

 The rise of China and India as “superstates” in a new tripolar world

 Geo-economics, US–China rivalry, and the breakdown of the liberal international order

 Democracy versus authoritarianism and the crisis of liberal governance

 Ideology, nationalism, and the limits of rationality in geopolitics

 Multipolarity, global disorder, climate crisis, and the future of world order
