Episode 2: The Rise of Populism and Euroscepticism
Office Hours is back. In this episode, our host, Stefanella Julius sits down with current SAIS student Evan Ward and Professor Mark Gilbert to chat about the rise of populism amid increasingly widespread feelings of Euroscepticism within the EU.
Mark Gilbert introduces us to his upcoming book, “Italy Reborn: From fascism to democracy,” which delves into Italy’s political transformation and democratic transition following World War II.
But, in the wake of dramatic leadership changes in the global theater over the last ten years, how can we define populism as it exists in Europe today? From Brexit to Clinton, Gilbert expounds on the modern populist identity and how well this identity reflects the growing disconnect between experts and public opinion.
