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.
