Crashing Globalisation: Populism after the Pandemic
Season 1, Episode 137, Aug 24, 2020, 01:32 PM
Over the last decade a populist tide has been sweeping across the West. From Donald Trump’s entry into the White House to the rise of the Law and Justice Party in Poland, populists have spoken to widespread anxieties about immigration, identity, and inequality. In so doing, they have challenged the ideological foundations of globalisation and the post-Cold War liberal order.
Will this tide continue to grow in the wake of the coronavirus crisis? And will it fundamentally change the character of global politics?
Jack Dickens hosts Matthew Goodwin to talk about the future of populism – and liberal democracy – after the coronavirus pandemic.
