Mike Burke writes on defense, geopolitics, political philosophy, foreign affairs, cultural resiliance, liberalism, conservatism, Islamism, ideology, and propaganda. He has bylines in Commentary, The Free Press, Providence, New Discourses, Nikkei Asia, The Japan Times, Areo, Providence, and Queer Majority. His work examines how ideologies such as Critical Social Justice undermine the national security and cultural resilience of liberal democracies, with a focus on the United Kingdom. A former public policy lead at Counterweight and a fellow at the Institute for Liberal Values, his work defends the Anglo-American tradition of liberalism as a moral inheritance grounded in cultural continuity, not abstract ideology. He is completing a PhD in War Studies at King’s College London, exploring how ideological capture may undermine national security in liberal democracies.
