  • Episode 246: Starlink, and the Shifting Dynamics of Space Governance
    Jul 6 2025

    In this week’s Monday episode, we explore the shifting dynamics of space governance with Chilean space policy expert Victoria Valdivia Cerda.

    Dominic and Victoria examine how the growing entanglement between state power and commercial space actors is reshaping global norms. They discuss the challenges posed by the monopolisation of low Earth orbit, the blurred boundaries between public infrastructure and private control, and the risks of regulatory fragmentation. Starlink, as a prominent example, illustrates how a commercial platform can evolve into a geopolitical actor — raising urgent questions about accountability, access, and influence in orbit.

    Victoria shares insights on the vulnerabilities of relying on a single private actor for global connectivity, particularly in times of crisis and disaster. She warns of the risks posed to democratic sovereignty, equitable access, and orbital sustainability when commercial dominance outpaces international regulation. The conversation also highlights Latin America's growing role in space, Chile’s forward-leaning defense strategy, and the urgent need for multilateral rules to prevent future orbital conflicts.

    Victoria Valdivia Cerda is a Global Fellow at the European Space Policy Institute and lectures on space policy at Chile’s National Academy of Strategic and Political Studies. She has contributed to Chile’s national defense whitepapers and is a rising voice in international space governance, calling for smarter, more inclusive policymaking in orbit.

  • Episode 245: The importance of Youth Work and a World Losing its Community with Abbee McLatchie
    Jul 2 2025

    In today’s episode of The International Risk Podcast, we explore an overlooked yet vital aspects of national and international resilience and risk mitigation: youth work. With social unrest, economic inequality, and political extremism on the rise globally, the risks of neglecting young people are no longer abstract; they’re immediate, measurable, and increasingly destabilising.

    Our guest, Abbee McLatchie, Director of Youth Work and the Deputy CEO at National Youth Agency, joins us to discuss why youth work isn’t just a social service - it’s a frontline defence against future crises. From community cohesion to countering radicalisation and addressing structural poverty, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

    Abbee McLatchie is the Director of Youth Work and the Deputy CEO at National Youth Agency. As Director of Youth Work, Abbee McLatchie leads on the development of professional standards; training and development; the National Youth Work Curriculum; as well as quality and safeguarding frameworks. Abbee has worked with young people through youth work since the 1990s in a range of environments from social care, to housing and homelessness services. She is particularly passionate about creating more access to identity and issue-based youth work that allows young people to use lived experiences to create social change for themselves and others.
