December 8, 2022

In this, the 24th episode of A View from Afar for 2022 political scientist Dr Paul Buchanan and host Selwyn Manning examine whether there is, in reality, such a thing as foreign policy independence in today's world. Specifically, Paul and Selwyn examine the following questions: What does it mean to be foreign policy independent, and what would independence look like?

In an interdependent world can FP independence be a realistic objective? And finally: is FP independence possible for a small state in this era, if it ever was, and conversely, do great powers really exercise independence in their foreign affairs?
