Description

Peter Frankopan is a Professor of Global History at Oxford, and author of The Silk Roads.



His work has been both profound and enduring, with the book being translated into more than 45 languages and selling nearly 3 million copies worldwide. The updated version has just been published.  



In this conversation, Peter reflects on the potent forces at work both within and outside of Asia.



He assesses the changing world order and discusses if the complexity of interplays which may appear uncomfortable to us, are actually less violent and dramatic when viewed through a historic lens. 



From China to Iran, India to the Baltics, this globe-trotting conversation discusses, hot-spots, malevolent actors, animosities, frictions and fallacies.



They also shine a light on his favourite cocktail and top sporting event!
