  Global Chokepoints | Power Players

  Jun 23, 20261 min

  In this episode of Power Players, Senior Editor Leo Collins explores the narrow waterways that quietly underpin the global economy and the immense geopolitical influence they provide to any actor that controls them. From the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Malacca to the Bab al-Mandeb and the Panama Canal, Leo examines how a handful of strategic corridors have shaped empires, fuelled economic growth and become critical pressure points in an increasingly contested world. The episode traces the history of these vital routes, the states and non-state actors that wield influence over them and the growing efforts by major powers to develop alternative trade corridors. It also explores the risks posed by conflict, climate change and infrastructure vulnerabilities, revealing how disruption in a few key locations can reverberate across global energy markets, exacerbating the risks facing supply chains and food security. As nations race to build new routes and reduce their dependence on maritime bottlenecks, this episode examines why the future of global power may belong not to those who control the chokepoints, but to those who can bypass them.

  ANTIFA's Origins and Ideology | Power Players

  Mar 10, 20268 minS0

  <p>In this episode of Sibylline’s Power Players series, Intelligence Analyst James Barett examines Antifa — a decentralised, global anti-fascist movement active across the United States and Europe. Emerging prominently during the wave of anti-fascist mobilisation around the 2017 Charlottesville protests, Antifa has developed as a loose network of regional cells rather than a single organised group.</p> <p>James explores the movement’s core ideology, rooted primarily in opposition to fascism but often intersecting with broader critiques of capitalism and globalisation. The episode breaks down how Antifa groups organise and coordinate actions, from mass demonstrations and counter-protests to digital mobilisation and on...
