Mike Burke is a British writer and academic based in Tokyo, where he lectures at Meiji University. He is completing a PhD in War Studies at King’s College London, exploring how ideological capture may undermine national security in liberal democracies. 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 writes regularly on political philosophy, foreign affairs, and cultural resilience.
