In this week's episode, we ask how digital transformation has changed the sphere of influence in global politics.

We hear from Emily Kasriel from the BBC World Service, from Dr Nicholas Michelsen, and Dr Neville Bolt, both from the King's Centre for Strategic Communications at the Department of War Studies.

This podcast was produced by Ivan Seifert.
