Behind the Headlines | Crisis of Democracy (London edition)

Recorded March 20, 2019. The rising appeal of populist political
movements around the world and authoritarian approaches to
government is a startling wake-up call for the political status
quo. Our panellists will look at what we mean by crisis and how we
can understand its roots, from economic stagnation to historical
political divisions. This panel will explore the fallout from
Brexit; the significance of the rise of the right across Europe and
populist movements which could further destabilize the EU region.
