Recent elections in the advanced western democracies have undermined the basic foundations of political systems that had previously beaten back all challenges-from both the left and the right. The election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency, only months after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, signalled a dramatic shift in the politics of the rich democracies.
During the 2020 Winter School for PhD candidates, LSE Associate Professor Jonathan Hopkin joined us to discuss his forthcoming book on anti-system politics and economic inequality in the West. Jonathan and Aidan Regan discuss whether it's cultural changes or neoliberalism that drive anti-system parties of the left and right, as well as the relationship between welfare states and party politics.

The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence seeks to advance a critical debate on the new political economy of Europe. We are based at Dublin's European Institute (DEI) at University College Dublin. The DEI is the oldest and largest university centre for research on European politics in the Republic of Ireland. In this podcast we interview scholars, journalists, policymakers, and activists.
Our focus is on the Centre's three key research themes: economic governance, democratic legitimacy, and protest and politics across in Europe and further afield. The podcast is recorded and produced by Aidan Regan (presenter), Andrew Fogarty, and Jorge Tamames.
