Behind the Headlines - Crises of Democracy

Recorded November 4th, 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; 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.
