Behind the Headlines | Crises of Democracy

Recorded November 5, 2018. For many countries in the world today,
populist and authoritarian approaches to government hold more
appeal than the status quo. Through our latest Behind the Headlines
discussion we ask why. Our panel of experts will look at what we
mean by crisis, and how we must look closer to home to understand
its roots, including economic stagnation and historical political
divisions; and on the eve of potentially historic mid-term
elections in the US, panellists will consider journalism and the
politics of resentment, and citizenship and statelessness. The
Trinity Long Room Hub Behind the Headlines series is supported by
the John Pollard Foundation. Learn more at:
