Keynote speaker: Tim Marshall
Tim Marshall is one of Britain’s bestselling authors on international affairs, and former Diplomatic Editor and Foreign Correspondent for Sky News.
Renowned for his ability to identify the causes underlying world events, he has reported from over thirty countries including 12 wars and conflict zones and has published six books on international relations. His fourth book, Prisoners of Geography, became an iconic New York Times, and Sunday Times bestseller with three million copies sold worldwide. His latest book is The Future of Geography about Astropolitics.
He is esteemed for his unique capacity to contextualise current affairs. He has extensively analysed, for instance, how geography influences the ways states behave and interact with one another. In his writing on Russian foreign policy, for example, he discusses how the flatland between the Baltic Sea and Carpathian Mountains – modern-day Poland – has for centuries made Russia vulnerable to invasion from Western armies.
Tim also draws from his insights into international relations to predict future affairs and crises, and his work increasingly comments on the intersection of technological advances with political developments. His upcoming book, another Sunday Times No1 best seller, The Future of Geography: How the Competition in Space Will Change Our World explores the geopolitics of space.
