Published: March 3, 2024, 4:58 p.m.

Tim Marshall is one of the world\u2019s most successful authors on foreign affairs. He\u2019s the writer who put the \u2018geo\u2019 into geopolitics with his multi-million selling books Prisoners of Geography and The Power of Geography. Marshall\u2019s principal argument is that without geography we cannot understand the world. His latest book is The Future of Geography: How Power and Politics in Space will Change our World. In February 2024 Tim joined journalist and presenter Ritula Shah for an Intelligence Squared live event, How Geography Explains Our World, at London\u2019s Conway Hall. It was a packed house. And Tim answered questions on topics ranging from the lay of the land on planet Earth to how mapping out outer space will be the next big geographical frontier. He also reflected on the crisis in Israel and Gaza \u2013 a location he spent years reporting from. \nThe discussion is in two halves.
