durée : 00:40:13 - France Culture va plus loin le samedi - par : Quentin Lafay - Vigneron, chauffeur-routier, réfugié syrien... Raconter l'Europe au travers des personnes qui y vivent, qui la traversent ou la rejoignent. C'est le pari du journaliste politique Ben Judah pour capter autrement les mutations sur le continent. Passionnant. - invités : Ben Judah Journaliste, membre du groupe de réflexion américain Atlantic Council, auteur de This is Europe. The Way We Live Now (Picador, non traduit)

In 2023, there are two Europes: the Europe of the museums and the beaches – and the real Europe as lived by its people. And that Europe has changed dramatically in recent decades.  The end of the Cold War collapsed many of the continent's political barriers. European unification brought countries as diverse as Ireland and Bulgaria under one umbrella. And more recently, a boom in migration, especially from the Islamic world, has changed Europe's demographics and brought a host of opportunities, challenges, and political changes. Today, the war in Ukraine has both created more solidarity among European nations and highlighted their big differences; and it has rattled the foundation of the region's economy.  On this episode of Playbook Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza talks with Ben Judah, author of “This Is Europe: The Way We Live Now,” about why this history means that you probably need to update your assumptions about Europe; and why it is that many American policymakers simply don't understand the realities that leaders like Emmanuel Macron, Rishi Sunak, and Giorgia Meloni have to live with.  Some of the reasons why will be familiar to Americans: immigration, crime, and the rise of right-wing populism. But according to Ben's new book, their implications for Europe are quite different from those here in the United States. And they open a whole tin of worms for the broader notion of the Western alliance. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Ben Judah is a journalist, academic and the author of "This is Europe: The Way We Live Now" Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.  Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.

On this week's episode, Rich and Jarrod are joined by author and journalist Ben Judah, for a conversation on his newest book, ‘This Is Europe: The Way We Live Now,' and the continuous changes facing the region's Jewish communities.

War has returned to the European continent, putting many previous divisions into perspective. This has caused European leaders to think afresh about their politics – and raised the question of the United Kingdom's role in European foreign policy. Seven years after the Brexit referendum, the EU and the UK have finally resolved some of their differences through the Windsor Framework. The possibility of a reset between the UK and the EU on foreign policy could be on the horizon. In this year's mini-series, Mark Leonard and Susi Dennison examine what a reimagined EU-UK relationship might look like. In this third episode, Mark and Susi welcome the Eurasia Group's managing director for Europe, Mujtaba Rahman, who previously served at the UK Treasury and the European Commission's directorate general for economic and financial affairs, to discuss what this renewal of relations might look like. How has Brexit affected the UK's economy? How can the UK negotiate a new agreement with the EU that avoids political difficulties around freedom of movement while still being attractive to the bloc? What areas of cooperation could the UK and the EU explore beyond the existing trade agreement? This podcast was recorded on 12 July 2023. Bookshelf: Johnson at 10: The Inside Story, by Anthony Seldon and Raymond Newell This is Europe: The Way We Live Now, by Ben Judah

In this episode of 'UKICE (I Tell)' - formerly known as 'Brexit and Beyond' - Professor Anand Menon interviews Ben Judah, author, journalist and Director of the Transform Europe Initiative at the Atlantic Council about his new book, 'This is Europe: The Way We Live Now'. They discuss what it means to be European and the role of immigration, technology, supply chains, climate change and war in transforming the continent.

What does it now mean to call yourself European?   Who makes up this population of some 750 million, sprawled from Ireland to Ukraine, from Sweden to Turkey? Who has always called it home, and who has newly arrived from elsewhere? Who are the people who drive our long-distance lorries, steward our criss-crossing planes, lovingly craft our legacy wines, fish our depleted waters, and risk life itself in search of safety and a new start?   In a series of vivid, ambitious, darkly visceral but always empathetic portraits of other people's lives, journalist Ben Judah invites us to meet them. Drawn from hours of painstaking interviews, these vital stories reveal a frenetic and vibrant continent which has been transformed by diversity, migration, the internet, climate change, Covid, war and the quest for freedom.   Laid dramatically bare, it may not always be a Europe we recognize – but this is Europe.   REVIEWS:   "Imagine Ballard and Houellebecq teaming up on a Grand Tour, and you will have some idea of just how vivid, urgent and unsettling this superbly written book is." ― Tom Holland   "Thrilling, first-hand tales that explore the danger and ambitions of life in Europe." ― The Financial Times   "Unflinching . . . a powerful piece of reportage." ― The Guardian   "Makes you expand the boundaries of your sympathies and your understanding. It's an astonishing achievement." ― Evening Standard   "An extraordinary series of interviews" ― Rory Stewart ― The Rest Is Politics   "Brilliantly vivid." ― Daily Mail   "Illuminating . . . a bold literary and journalistic experiment. Judah knows how to tell a story and does so with panache." ― The Spectator   "Superb . . . a compelling read." ― The New European   "A hallucinatory tour de force . . . life affirming." ― The Jewish Chronicle   "Brilliantly told . . . highly readable" ― The Times   "Such an ambitious project it automatically deserves applause . . . reminds us that below every system and conflict there are human beings." ― Irish Times   "A singular journalistic achievement." ― The Fence

Annette en Mathieu maken in deze laatste aflevering voor de zomerstop de balans op van een enerverend halfjaar Europese politiek, tijdens een speciale editie vanuit Nieuwspoort. Met Europa-correspondenten Clara van de Wiel (NRC) en Kysia Hekster (NOS) wordt er onder andere gekeken naar de Nederlandse opstelling in Europa. Merkt Clara dat er in Brussel anders naar Nederland wordt gekeken sinds het huidige kabinet is aangetreden? Ook hebben ze het uiteraard over de oorlog in Oekraïne. Kysia is ook oud-Rusland correspondent en reisde tijdens de oorlog verschillende keren naar Oekraïne. Hoe kijken ze daar tegen de Europese hulp aan? En over Duitslands Zeitenwende is een hoop gezegd en geschreven, maar hoe staat het er op dit moment voor? Gelukkig is onze stamgast Derk Marseille speciaal uit Berlijn om ons even helemaal bij te praten over de Duitse politiek en de Duitse rol in Europa.

Mass migration is transforming our continent just as significantly as wars did in the past.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveThere is the Europe of politics. There is the Europe of ideas. But there is also the Europe of actual people, who live, love, die, and dream. How they live and how they hope is shaped by mass migration, climate change, the war in Ukraine, and any number of other disruptions. Who are they and what do their lives actually look like? This week, British journalist Ben Judah talks to and about his outstanding new book This Is Europe, a work of heartfelt and immersive storytelling about individuals amidst the forces reshaping the continent's landscape.Ben eschewed coverage of superficial political debates and dedicated the book to tell 23 gripping stories of ordinary people — an ex-Muslim porn actor, a Romanian truck driver, a refugee olive production line worker — embedded in this new European life. In addition to relaying parts of these narratives, Ben discusses the unique approach he took, including removing himself from the frame and closely collaborating with subjects to add depth to their stories. Instead of asking them what they thought, Ben chose to ask them “how did this make you feel?” Interestingly, few of them seem to have any distinct politics or ideology, something which seems to especially intrigue Shadi. In the full episode (for paying subscribers only) the three discuss Islam's growing footprint on a largely secular but still superstitious Europe. Ben also discusses the increasingly blurred cultural lines between Europe, Africa and Asia as well. The conversation winds down with Ben explaining the absence of Jewish stories from the book and the three circling back to a fundamental question: How do we live?Subscribers will also receive the full video of the conversation, available below.

How do we really live now? From a Romanian truck driver to an Amazon deliveryman and a factory production line worker, Ben Judah tried to answer that question by speaking to the people whose labour makes the freedom and prosperity the rest of us enjoy possible – for his latest book This is Europe.The author and Atlantic Council fellow crossed the continent conducting hours of painstaking interviews with people whose vivid stories reveal the powerful forces reshaping our world: migration, technology, war and climate change.He joined the CapX podcast to discuss a book, by turns harrowing and uplifting, about a promise of unity, peace and the good life that's realised for some in Europe – but painfully illusive for others. And our conversation was almost as wide ranging as the land it covers… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ben Judah joins Claire on the line.

We are extremely lucky this week to host Ben Judah, Director of the Atlantic Council's Transform Europe Initiative, but most importantly for our purposes, the author of the recently published This is Europe (2023), a travelogue of sorts that compiles short stories from all around the continent in an attempt to capture the spirit of being European. It's a special episode for many reasons. Firstly, because Uncommon Decency is a podcast that focuses a lot on the big politics of our continent and the great moments in European history. In contrast, this book is a supremely personal approach to what Europe is today, with interviews of extraordinary characters from across the continent which shed light on all the joys and hardships of life in Europe. So this is not your typical Uncommon Decency podcast. Secondly, because when we imagined what this podcast would look like in June 2020 we listed some names we would love to have on. We are happy to report that we've crossed many of these names, including Benjamin Haddad, Luuk van Middelaar and the historian Christopher Clark, for example. The last of the Mohicans on that list was Ben Judah, whose thinking about Europe is both one of the most creative but also one of the best informed. So we are proud to say that, 92 episodes later, Ben finally is with us for a conversation on what is Europe, Macron, immigration and technology. Enjoy! As always, please rate and review Uncommon Decency on Apple Podcasts, and send us your comments or questions either on Twitter at @UnDecencyPod or by e-mail at undecencypod@gmail.com.

In this conversation with RevDem editor Ferenc Laczó, Ben Judah – author of the new book This is Europe. How We Live Now – discusses what motivated him to tell stories on a continental scale, which authors and books have inspired him the most, and what has been his approach to narrating. He also reflects on key themes have emerged from his extensive travels and reportage and on what he sees as the most consequential new aspects of how Europeans live now.

From dockworkers in Poland to meetings with European prime ministers and presidents and witnessing the fall of the Berlin Wall - the latest book by Timothy Garton Ash is a memoir called Homelands: A Personal History of Europe. He is joined by the Turkish writer now in exile from her home country Ece Temelkuran, by journalist Ben Judah who has been interviewing citizens across different European countries and by Misha Glenny, who has written on the former Yugoslavia and Eastern Europe and presents for BBC Radio 4 a history series about different countries called The Invention of ….

Ben Judah has written This is Europe: The Way We Live Now which draws on a series of interviews with a range of European citizens detailing their experiences of life. Misha Glenny's books include The Balkans 1804-2012 and McMafia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that the ‘New World Order' are deliberately creating economic hardships around the globe in order to push the ‘Great Reset' on humanity. During a speech that was broadcast live on Russian television, Putin also slammed Russian oligarchs fleeing to Israel as a “fifth column” of “national traitors” who view themselves as a “superior race” and “cannot make do without foie gras, oysters or gender freedom as they call it.” “Any nation, and even more so the Russian people, will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and will simply spit them out like an insect in their mouth, spit them onto the pavement,” Putin said. — Ben Judah (@b_judah) March 16, 2022 “I am convinced,” said Putin today in this chilling warning about how the West was seeking to use a “fifth column” to bring about the destruction of Russia, “that such a natural and necessary self purification of society will only strengthen our country.” pic.twitter.com/ZqhCQZsAqZ “I am convinced that a natural and necessary self-detoxification of society like this would strengthen our country, our solidarity and cohesion and our readiness to respond to any challenge,” he added. Summit.news reports: The Russian president also directly addressed westerners who are being told by the legacy media that skyrocketing gas prices and other economic hardships are purely to blame on Putin. “I want ordinary Western people hear me, too,” Putin said. “You are being persistently told that your current difficulties are the result of Russia's hostile actions and that you have to pay for the efforts to counter the alleged Russian threat from your own pockets. All of that is a lie.” “The truth is that the problems faced by millions of people in the West are the result of many years of actions by the ruling elite of your respective countries, their mistakes, and short-sighted policies and ambitions. This elite is not thinking about how to improve the lives of their citizens in Western countries. They are obsessed with their own self-serving interests and super profits.” No doubt that very same elite will now cite Putin's criticism of them as reason to assert they have the moral high ground. http://globalreportage.org/2022/03/25/putin-new-world-order-are-deliberately-crashing-the-economy-as-part-of-the-great-reset/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/global-reportage/support

It was easy to make fun of RT America. Funded by the Russian government, the English-language news channel seemed to worry little about journalistic standards and often engaged in bald propaganda. Now that it's gone, it's hard to mourn it. But the closure of RT America also signals the end of an era of more open communication between Russia and the United States. On episode 45 of The Politics of Everything, hosts Laura Marsh and Alex Pareene discuss the aims of Russia's experiment in American news, the grim transformation of Russian politics over the past two decades, and what's to come. Guests include Ben Judah, the author of Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In and Out of Love with Vladimir Putin, and Peter Pomerantsev, the author of This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Ben Judah - author and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council - reflects on his time in Russia in early 2000s, the Russian people's views on Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine.

BONUS: After last week's Ukraine Q&A proved so popular, Defence and Foreign Affairs analyst Michael Clarke & author Ben Judah return to take listener calls.

Greg Palast hosts this week's Reality Check on KPFK. His guests are filmmaker, playwright and activist Josh Fox (Gasland), and journalist and author Ben Judah (Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In and Out of Love with Vladimir Putin).

Policy Exchange is hosting a series of podcast over the next two weeks on Russia's war on Ukraine. In the first episode Ben Judah – bestselling author of Fragile Empire: How Russia fell in and out of love with Vladimir Putin and This is London: Life and Death in the World City and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council – discusses both Britain's clampdown on Russian oligarchs and how Europe is heading for its largest migration since World War II, with up to 1.5 million refugees having already left Ukraine. Judah argues that sanctions against Russian oligarchs might achieve little in terms of helping Ukraine – but nevertheless it is vitally important as it will wean London's banks, lawyers and financial institutions off their addiction to Russian money.  The rise of so-called Londongrad has been deeply corrupting – and cleaning it up is important for the sake of Britain. The migration from Ukraine will only speed up if Russia's onslaught on Ukraine continues. As with all migrations many of those leaving are likely never to return and the country will lose many of its young and able.  Ties of kinship in Poland and Hungary mean that their government's reaction to the new influx will likely continue to be much more welcoming than they were to Syrian refugees. Many Ukrainians will move to western Europe and Judah argues that Britain should make a warm offer to Ukrainian refugees who have the potential of making a considerable contribution to British life. If Russia has its way, Ukraine will become a country denuded of youth and talent – but Judah argues that this suits Putin's gameplan just as it did with his earlier wars in Chechnya and the Donbas. All Putin's actions suggest that he is keen for those to leave who will not accept Russian dominance.

You can't understand the chaos in Ukraine without understanding Vladimir Putin. The Russian president rose to power as a wartime leader, and that legacy has shaped his approach through decades. Ben Judah is the author of Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In and Out of Love with Vladimir Putin, and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Europe Center. He spoke to us about how Putin sees the world and what his past could tell us about Ukraine's future.

What impact are British and allied sanctions having on Russia?  As Britain joins the global anti-invasion coalition to take increasingly assertive economic actions against Russia, Ben Judah interviews Dr. Maria Shagina, visiting fellow at the Finnish Institute for International Affairs' Center on US Politics and Power, for today's #BritainDebrief. How has British sanctions policy on Russia looked since Brexit? What new leverage can Britain and its allies apply against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine?

Joining Iain Dale this evening to answer your questions about the Russian invasion of Ukraine are Professor Michael Clarke, former Director General of RUSI and Ben Judah, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council.

More problems at the U.K. border with the EU. The Road Haulage Association says the volume of goods going to the bloc fell by over two-thirds in January because of post-Brexit red tape. The government says they do not recognize the figures and there has been "intensive engagement with the road haulage industry for months" Mick Whitley, Labour MP for Birkenhead, who voted for the Brexit deal, tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing the problems need to be sorted out and the government needs to make sure the deal works for everyone. Ben Judah, author of the Policy Exchange's report on British diplomacy in Washington, joins to discuss how London can improve getting its voice heard in White House and on Capitol Hill.

On Tuesday 2 February, Alexei Navalny was sentenced to two years and 8 months in a prison colony.

Hosting the Sky News Daily podcast, Jonathan Samuels speaks to Ben Judah, Russia analyst and author of Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In And Out Of Love With Vladimir Putin. Also joining him to discuss accusations made about Putin regarding the so-called ‘Black Palace’ and corruption is Sergey Markov, Putin’s former spokesman.We also speak to a Navalny supporter, who explains why he will continue to protest.

The Democratic Party's foreign policy is controlled by unipolar-moment hawks.  Australian strategists are making plans for conflict with China without the US.  New Zealand has a China policy that looks awfully janus-faced, but there's method (and risk) to the madness.  And if Democrats' plan to fight Trump is to "win big in November" and nothing else, then the game is already lost.  Contributors: Pete McKenzie, Gaby Magnuson, Jake DellowAnne-Marie Brady Tweet: https://thediplomat.com/2020/06/new-zealands-quiet-china-shift/?fbclid=IwAR15ssAj0Lfh0elwaFyAC69vOX2P-uCmHzWIey3aGYeH4Pfn-9TAHEKbSJEMike McFaul Tweet: https://twitter.com/McFaul/status/1278757751947014144?s=19Sophia McDougall Tweet: https://twitter.com/McDougallSophia/status/1276538425395630081?s=20Andrew Carr Tweet: https://twitter.com/AOCarr/status/1277853262650019840

Het nieuwe antisemitisme is in opkomst en het kent kleur noch grenzen. Rechts én links wijzen naar de ander, maar wat zijn hun eigen blinde vlekken?Na een lang onderzoek naar het hedendaagse antisemitisme zien Margreet Fogteloo en Rosa van Gool dat weinig groepen gevrijwaard blijven: ze kijken onder meer naar Jodenhaat in linkse en progressieve kringen. Het blijkt een mijnenveld te zijn, want wat is legitieme kritiek op de staat Israël en wat is antisemitisme? Deze theoretisch heldere lijn blijkt dunner in de praktijk.In ‘Niet ík ben het probleem’ geven ze een inkijkje in de online ‘dog whistle-cultuur’ en gaan ze in op affaires in Engeland, zoals de antisemitische belaging van journalist Ben Judah door aanhangers van een oud-Labour politicus en de excuses van Jeremy Corbyn voor de jodenhaat in zijn partij.Productie: Kees van den Bosch & Fatih Kılıç

Laura's latest book club read was This Is London by Ben Judah (2016), a spare and unflinching investigation into what life in London can be like for the migrants who make up over 40% of the city's population. Not a gentle read, but a revealing one that frustrated and impressed in equal measure – a good formula for debate. For our regular interview, we spoke with Claire Griffiths who runs the book club at Islington's Ink84. We end with recommendations for your next book club read, including some from Word on the Water, a London institution and bookshop on a canal barge moored at Kings Cross. • Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @bookclubreviewpodcast. Email us at thebookclubreview@gmail.com, or leave us a comment on iTunes. • Ink84 bookshop can be found at www.ink84.co.uk, and the London Book Barge can be found on Facebook under Word on the Water. • Books mentioned in this episode: Second-Hand Time by Svetlana Alexievich Days Without End by Sebastian Barry The Power by Naomi Alderman The Return by Hisham Matar Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf Swimming With Sharks by Joris Luyendijk A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks NW by Zadie Smith The Mandibles by Lionel Shriver The Last London by Ian Sinclair And more if you keep listening to the end... • For our next book club we will be reading and discussing The Snow Leopard (1978) by Peter Matthiessen. • If you have read this far then you're probably the sort of person who might want to keep listening for our 'extra' bit at the end, where we talk about what we've been reading outside of book club. Stay tuned for what we've been reading – or trying to read – over the summer.

Ben Judah, author of 'Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In And Out Of Love with Vladimir Putin', gives a talk for the Reuters Schoolf of Journalism seminar series.

Debates about the nature of Putin’s rule abound. Is Putin a hard fisted authoritarian? Is he the master of the power vertical? An arbiter of competing clans? Or something else? In his Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In and Out of Love with Vladimir Putin (Yale University Press, 2013), Ben Judah offers another view: Russia is a brittle system Putin holds together by sheer presence and will. Since becoming coming to power, Putin has served as the lead architect of a failed modern state. And the system’s persistent hollowness has rendered him its primary prisoner. Russia is trapped in a conundrum. It can’t survive without Putin but it can’t live much longer with him either. Hence the main images in Judah’s narrative are examples of decay and slow disintegration. Having traveled from the Baltic to the Pacific, Judah provides a lively narrative interspersed with voices from the centers of power to the distant periphery and back to Moscow’s rumbling streets. This last political space, the realm of the haphazard opposition, is the most recent sign of Putinism fragility. By the end, readers are left wondering where exactly Russia’s future lies. And Judah’s prognosis? It is a vision informed by past nightmares, present specters, and future phantasmagoria. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
