Can a nation's economic power be a powerful tool for international development? Or is it primarily a strategy for advancing a country's own interests?

On this episode of the Flywheel Economics Podcast, we’re navigating this complex world with a former UK High Commissioner to Nigeria. He has seen firsthand how foreign policy and economic strategy intersect on the ground.

Join us as we explore the core of economic diplomacy: how it has evolved, the true purpose of foreign aid, and how a nation can balance its own agenda with the development needs of another. This is a conversation about the real-world impact of diplomatic dollars on the global stage.

Special thanks to our guest, Paul Arkwright, former British High Commissioner to Nigeria.
