From top defense analyst Dr Jack Watling, Statecraft reveals the hidden mechanics of global influence. While we watch the headlines, Watling takes us inside the bunkers and wood-panelled offices where the real decisions are made.
In this urgent analysis, you will discover:
- The Iran Paradox: How a sanctioned nation controls global energy prices despite US military might.
- The Russia–Ukraine Lesson: Why a superpower struggled against a smaller neighbour in the opening months of the invasion.
- The Aircraft Carrier Dilemma: Why the UK spends billions on hardware it can barely support at sea.
- The Future of Taiwan: What the shifting ‘rules of power’ mean for the next great flashpoint.
- Middle Powers: How do smaller countries build leverage and stay off the menu?
Whether it’s economic alliances, sea power or the latest military technology, Watling provides a powerful new lens to understand a world that feels increasingly out of control.
