The Centre for Grand Strategy and the Strategic Studies Research Theme presents - 'The Great Imperial Hangover: How Empires Have Shaped the World' - an event in conversation with Dr Samir Puri and Professor Patrick Porter, chaired by Dr Flavia Gasbarri.

For the first time in millennia we live without formal empires. But that doesn't mean we don't feel their presence rumbling through history. From Russia's incursions in Ukraine to Brexit; from Trump's 'America-first' policy to China's forays into Africa; from Modi's India to the hotbed of the Middle East, Dr Samir Puri's book provides a bold new framework for understanding the world's complex rivalries and politics.
