About this listen
Sé Merry Doyle interviews Philip Stephens, former Political Editor of The FT, about his new book “These Divided Isles - Britain and Ireland, Past and Future”. Philip is a writer and historian, the author most recently of a widely praised account of Britain's post-imperial struggle to find its place in the world: Britain Alone - the Path from Suez to Brexit. He is a Contributing Editor for the Financial Times, where for 25 years he wrote a regular column about political and international affairs. In this quote Philips gives us a glimpse of what the future might look like 'I see the world as on the cusp of the most profound geopolitical upheaval since the end of the Cold War. If history was ever suspended after the fall of the Berlin Wall it has now resumed. I enjoy trying to make sense of this new, fractured and precarious world. I am a frequent speaker and moderator at international conferences, an Honorary Governor of the Ditchley Foundation, a Richard Von Weizsacker fellow at the Bosch Academy, and a member of the Board of the Franco-British Colloque. I grew up in London but have roots in Co Mayo in the west of Ireland'. style="float: left; margin: 0 15px 15px 0;"
