Senior Fellow for South and Central Asian Defence Rahul Roy-Chaudhury, HSBC diplomat Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles and strategist Rear Adm. Chris Parry discuss about borders, identity and security. From Roman-Empire warnings to Leicester’s street riots, they show why migration is no longer a side issue—it’s the battlefield where geopolitics, culture and business collide.

Key Takeaways:
- Corporate Diplomatic Muscle — Multinationals now need “mini foreign ministries” to translate geopolitical risk into board-level action and government influence. 
- Surge-Migration Pressure — History’s big population waves topple systems when they arrive too fast; modern Europe risks a repeat without resilient labour and housing policies. 
- Diaspora Identity Politics — Always-online communities keep home-country loyalties alive, fuelling sectarian flashpoints from Leicester to London’s diplomatic quarter.
- Climate-Driven Mobility — Climate change will push unprecedented human movement; governments must plan integration pathways now or face security headaches later.
