Ian Proud argues that the liberal and "ethical" policies
introduced in the 1990s have created an irrational foreign policy
consisting of moral crusades without dissent, while domestically
the important role of nationalism has been undermined. The failed
proxy war in Ukraine could cause a shift in British policy by
ending the former 25-30 years of idealist internationalism. We
discussed these issues, which Proud outlined in his article
"Britain Remains Cursed by Bipolar Diplomacy":

Proud was a member of His Majesty's Diplomatic Service from 1999
to 2023. Ian was a senior officer at the British Embassy in
Moscow from July 2014 to February 2019, at a time when UK-Russia
relations were particularly tense. He performed a number of roles
in Moscow, including as Head of Chancery, Economic Counsellor -
in charge of advising UK Ministers on economic sanctions - Chair
of the Crisis Committee, Director of the Diplomatic Academy for
Eastern Europe and Central Asia and Vice Chair of the Board at
the Anglo-American School. Follow Prof. Glenn Diesen:Substack:
