With elections looming on 4 July, the UK faces a turning point in its relationships with Europe and the wider world. Though there are three weeks of campaigning to go, all signs point to a substantial victory for the opposition Labour Party and a total collapse for the governing Conservative - or Tory - Party.

To help us explore the impact this election will have on the UK's foreign and defence policy we've been joined by Ben Jones, whose fascinating research explores the impact of military cooperation on state sovereignty. As a lecturer in European foreign policy here at King's College London and with his extensive experience of the UK political scene, in this podcast Ben sets out the challenges a new UK government will face in a rapidly changing world.

The background music is by Through the City by Crowander, and the production for this podcast was by Daniel Mansfield.
