      Jan 1 2022
      Timothy Garton Ash, an international authority on Central Europe and renowned 'historian of the present', joins Robert Pyrah in the closing episode of the series. This is a summative and wide-ranging conversation on the challenge of illiberalism in Poland, Hungary and beyond, covering topics such as the uses and abuses of history, media, the rule of law, culture and the role of the European Union. Professor Garton Ash offers listeners a detailed, nuanced and highly accessible view on the key issues facing the region today. The episode complements a reissue of his classic work, 'The Magic Lantern', which includes an essay reflecting on recent political developments more than 30 years later: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-Lantern-Revolution-Witnessed-Budapest/dp/1838950702/tgabooks-21.

    • ‘Best of’: Lessons Learned

      ‘Best of’: Lessons Learned
      Dec 2 2021

      In this bonus episode, we look back at the interviews of the series so far, drawing out headline lessons for citizens, governments or other bodies in Europe and beyond.


      Section 1 defines the shapes and patterns of illiberalism, via case studies on Central Europe from across the episodes.


      Section 2 pulls together headline 'lessons' on how to fight back, starting at 32 min.


      These are:


      1. Be alert to emotion trumping fact;

      2. Make science easier to access;

      3. Education as illiberal attack / liberal defence;

      4. Defend free speech;

      5. Uncover the agenda;

      6. Be wary of "mission creep";

      7. Fight fire with light;

      8. Persuasion vs. coercion.


      Thank you for listening!
