While the European Parliament elections have come and gone, eternal questions regarding voter participation linger on. Why don't people vote? How do we incentivize people to vote? What does the lack of voter participation say about the democratic system? In this Roundtable episode, Justin Cruz, Lèon Downs, Marissa Diaz, Zoheb Mashiur, Niki Papadogiannakis, and Hattie Schofield discuss all of these questions and more in a recording completed just before the beginning of the EP election.

Recently, the Royal Museum for Central Africa reopened its doors after tens of millions of euros were spent on renovations. With the goal of "modernizing" the museum for today's audience, certain statues and exhibitions were re-worked or removed entirely in order to convey the brutality of the Belgian occupation of Congo But what does the renovation mean for Belgium and its attitude/relationship to colonialism? For insight, we spoke to Frank De Coninck, former Belgian Ambassador and former Marshal of the Royal Household of the Royal Court of Belgium. We also spoke with Ange Nsanzineza, a member of the VUB African Society. 

Moderator: Marta Kotwas - Doctoral Student at UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies Panelists: Dr. Hans-Georg Betz - Author and leading expert on populism and the radical right in affluent liberal democracies Renate Schroeder - Director of the European Federation of Journalists Michael Kay - Filmmaker and journalist **Part of the special edition of the podcast featuring some of the events at this year's BSIS International Conference: “Nationalism & Populism: The Future of Europe?” This conference focused on the possible challenges and scenarios Europe may be faced with regarding issues of Migration, Security and Defense and (social) media.*** In the age of social media in political movements, discussions revolving around nationalism and populism have become increasingly important. Current events demonstrate some of the disruptive effects of nationalism and populism, both of which have been portrayed negatively in the media. Scholars have begun to address this emerging topic by asking questions like: What role does the media play in creating populist movements today? How have political movements transformed in the age of social media? This panel will consider these questions and promote further discussion on the importance of the media as an actor in nationalist and populist movements.

Moderator: Dr. Daniel Fiott - Defence Analyst at the EU Institute for Security Studies Panelists: Dr. Jamie Shea - Former Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Emerging Security Challenges at NATO Dr. Jordan Becker - Institute for European Studies at the VUB's Senior Transatlantic Fellow Dr. Andras Szalai - PhD Researcher at the Central European University's Center for European Neighborhood Studies  Col. Darryl A. Rupp - Assigned to NATO Headquarters in the Joint Intelligence and Security Division. **Part of the special edition of the podcast featuring some of the events at this year's BSIS International Conference: “Nationalism & Populism: The Future of Europe?” This conference focused on the possible challenges and scenarios Europe may be faced with regarding issues of Migration, Security and Defense and (social) media.*** In today‘s world, issues of security both at national and international level are of major concern to civil societies and governments. Military missions and defense cooperation between the EU and NATO are growing, giving floor to new debates and questions. Are populism and nationalism undermining international security issues? How can armed forces be protected of potential radical populist influences or are these only of minor concern? This panel will touch upon several of these pressing questions, considering the changes political sentiments bear and may allow for a discussion of populist governments and their (possible) threat to military cooperation.

Moderator: Marianna Karakoulaki - Journalist, Campaign Manager at ANTIGONE Panelists: Thomas Huddleston - Research Director at Migration Policy Group Kumut Imesh - Filmmaker, Co-Director of “Revenir” Pia Klemp - Captain of IUVENTA Ship Gulwali Passarlay - Activist and Author of "The Endless Sky" **Part of the special edition of the podcast featuring some of the events at this year's BSIS International Conference: “Nationalism & Populism: The Future of Europe?” This conference focused on the possible challenges and scenarios Europe may be faced with regarding issues of Migration, Security and Defense and (social) media.*** While issues of nationalism-security nexus of migration management are at the forefront of politics and policy, how does the rise of these kinds of sentiments affect migrants living in Europe? The securitization of migration and its link to increasing xenophobia has tangible results in policy related to citizenship, asylum and inclusion; how are these reproduced in the lives of forced migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees? The panel touched on issues related to the securitization of migration in Europe. The panelists discussed the role of the media, the effects of populism, Europe's borders, as well as the EU's migration policies. Policy experts, practitioners and activists gave a first hand account and they will discuss the way they navigate around these themes.

Keynote Speaker: Richard Sakwa, Professor of Russian and European politics at the University of Kent **Part of the special edition of the podcast featuring some of the events at this year's BSIS International Conference: “Nationalism & Populism: The Future of Europe?” This conference focused on the possible challenges and scenarios Europe may be faced with regarding issues of Migration, Security and Defense and (social) media.*** As a start to the conference, the keynote touched upon nationalism and populism, elaborating upon their meanings and to what extent one idea relies on the other and how societies nowadays are experiencing changes that will have a lasting effect. Growing nationalist sentiments and the rise of populist parties in Europe have taken on crucial roles influencing events such as Brexit, the securitisation of migration and the debate over a European Army. Ideas of Nationalism and Populism have roots in the history of humankind, reflected in political upheaval, inequalities within societies and media coverage. It is important to discuss and regard these ideas as shaping factors of the 21st century and moreover the future to come, concerning not just academics and politicians but every individual.

We've come to the end of our first season on Beyond Brussels! Join Allie Elwell, Marissa Diaz, Katrina Coles, Lois McLatchie and Nadira Nasibli as they become the "experts" as the newest members of the team Niki Papadogiannakis, Hattie Schoefield and Zoheb Mashiur explore the topics dearest to them. From the meaning of democracy, to the effects of digital disruptions, the economy as a weapon of war, the value of life, and what it means to be a better human... it's a wide-ranging discussion honouring the most important mission of Beyond Brussels: empowering one another as citizens of a global community.   

Think about the world 20 years ago... The Internet was just in its public infancy. Nelson Mandela was President. The Euro was still a talking point. It's also when the University of Kent expanded to Europe with our very Brussels School of International Studies and now includes campuses in Rome, Athens and Paris. To mark the celebrations, Beyond Brussels is launching a new "Throwback" feature, looking back at how BSIS, Kent and the world has changed over the last two decades. We'll feature profiles of our fabulous alumni, delve into some of the big headlines of the day and go alongside Kent's official events. We may even do a few of our own! In this special edition of Campus Connect, Hattie Schofield gets a lowdown from Kent's EU Administration Head Alastair Ross about the official "20 Years in Europe" celebrations planned, then Katrina Coles checks in with the Rome School of Classical and Renaissance Studies' Rachel Crawford. Wrapping up, we spend "90 seconds with" Sydney Lartigue Fameni.

We heard an exploration of what a "state of war" is from three incredible experts. Now, we want to check in with survivors of conflict. In this extended version of interviews, Zoheb Mashiur and Katrina Coles gain deeper insight into the lives of three men who have lived it.  Zaid Mahmood - Born in Bagdad, raised in Mosul, Zaid is an artist who made the difficult decision to leave a home which made it impossible to pursue the life he wanted. This also meant separation from his family. Before 2003, he remembers a military mindset so present, that as a child normalised violence and became a key theme of his artwork. After the fall of Sadam Hussein in the 2003 American-led invasion of Iraq, "one bully turned into countless bullies,” especially as ISIS took over. Zaid is currently the bandleader at Refugees got Talent, an organisation aimed at giving refugees in Belgium a creative voice.  Daniel López - Born in Bogotá, Daniel loves Colombia and adores his hometown. Daniel describes life in his home country, mirred in a decades long conflict over drugs, as an accepted chaos where the pressure is constant. Trapped in an endless class struggle, he is politically active and determined to understand the complexity of this life. Daniel is currently pursuing his PhD at the Brussels School of International Studies. Nanar Hawach - From Homs, Syria, as the uprising against Basar Al-Assad took hold, he recalls how things escalated quickly. Within a matter of months, Nanar understood war had broken out in Homs. Peaceful protests turned violent and dishonest reporting signififed that life was changing from one with a positive future to one filled with uncertainty and violence. For Nanar,  it became important to write down the names of the lives that were lost. Nanar, a BSIS graduate, is pursuing a PhD at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).  

What IS a State of War? Is it only limited to armed conflict? Join Allie Elwell, Marissa Diaz and Hattie Schofield discuss with Col Mario Diaz, I Corps Chief of Staff, a Colonel in the US Army with over 25 years of experience with a particular focus on Asia-Pacific, working closely with senior team at the Pentagon; Dr Daniel Fiott from the European Union Institute for Security Studies, who advises the EUropean Commission on security and defence policy issues; Alice Musabende, Cambridge University scholar researching peace building in post-conflict societies with a specific focus on Africa, informed by her personal experience of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsis in Rwanda.

Officially, it’s armed conflict. But is it time for an update? Has the end goal changed? And, who gets to decide? There's a lot of rhetoric today about whether or not we are in, or on the brink of, some kind of new global war.  While this may feel unprecedented for many in the West, conflict is still commonplace in many parts of the world. But what exactly IS a state of war? Has it changed? And what does it feel like to experience being in a war? We explore these questions and more in this episode We start off with a panel discussion hosted by Allie Elwell, with Marissa Diaz, and Col. Mario Diaz, US Army; Alice Musabende, Cambridge University & Dr. Daniel Fiott, European Institute for Security Studies as well as a lecturer at BSIS . Then Katrina Coles and Zoheb Mashiur spoke with three survivors of conflict about the impact of living in conflict: Nanar Hawach (Syria), Daniel López Pérez (Colombia) and Zaid (Iraq) PLUS Hattie Schoefield previews Kent University’s “20 Years in Europe” with Alastair Ross, Katrina meets Rachel Crawford from University of Kent's Rome  campus and Lois McLatchie tees up Brussels’ hottest summer events with Visit Brussels  Thank you to our wonderful editor Niki Papadogiannakis, contributor Nadira Nasibli and Kimberley Attard-Owen for her additional support.   Hosts: Allie Elwell and Marissa Diaz Theme music: Royalty Free Music: http://www.soundotcom.com
