Former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt's World Power is a thought-provoking book about our place in the world in the century ahead.

Looking back at his time as this country's global ambassador, he asks: is Britain a minor player, marginalized by our departure from the EU and dwarfed by the rise of new economies? Or is there a major role for us to play in a rapidly changing international order? If it is the latter, what is the evidence that we were capable of doing that beyond a nostalgic desire for influence and patriotic tub-thumping?

Hunt observes how Britain has continued to exert global influence despite losing its empire and economic dominance. Where does our influence lie in democracy, the rule of law, and respect for human rights? Or climate change, promoting global health security and dealing with the excesses of the internet? He argues we have acquired authority on the global stage that is about much more than history and informs a positive vision of the future. He writes with passion and clarity, interweaving stories about his time in Government with questions he can now ask publicly about our attitude to China, Tech, Security, Climate Change and all aspects of our global role.

An excellent analysis of Britain on the world stage. Being in the UK you don't really see or feel the significance of our country, but this lays it out well in a compelling, story driven way. I have a new appreciation for my country, despite the ease of finding endless negatives, and waiting for years to see whether daily life could get better.

Everyone in the UK should read this, then maybe we can live up to Hunts aspirations.

well argued, from centre right perspective. light on the details of solutions, more interested in factoids and vignettes on the good that Britain does now. an element of autobiography with an eye to posterity. but strong on the key topics and useful insight into the very heart of government and diplomacy

more anecdote than solution

With more flair mixed with the data this could have made a more memorable and motivating case for confidence for an uncertain UK in an unstable 21st century.
