1 小时 27 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Welcome everybody.
Thanks for coming on this beautiful evening.
And we're going to be talking about the national interest after globalization.
My name is Peter Ramsey.
I'm an academic in the law school here.
And our subject for tonight, the national interest politics after globalization.
And we meet a couple of weeks after Mark Carney,
the Prime Minister of Canada and former Governor of the Bank of England,
made a speech that you might have noticed in which he said,
we are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health,
energy, and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration.
We know the old order is not coming back.
We shouldn't mourn it.
Nostalgia is not a strategy.
Carney did not use the words national interest,
but it was pretty clear where Canada was headed or where he thinks it's going to be headed under his leadership.
Sovereignty that was once grounded in rules will be increasingly anchored in the ability to withstand pressure.
