Podcast appearances and mentions of christian caryl

With this podcast we begin a new set of summer reading suggestions for 2025. In the first episode of the summer (if indeed it is summer where you are) Owen Kelly and David Morley discuss Strange Rebels: 1979 and the Birth of the 21st Century written by Christian Caryl and published in 2014.Neither of them agree with Caryl's political position but instead argue about the usefulness of the approach he takes to history. Rather than following an issue he traces five plot-threads across the year 1979 and argues that they intertwine in significant ways that narrative-based conventional history overlooks.This, we might feel, is perhaps more prescient than it appeared when the book was first published. Donald Trump's first 100 days in office have been chaotic but might better be seen as the culmination of a series of separate but related plot threads that originated in Bejing, Jerusalem, Moscow, New Delhi, Riyadh and Tehran, rather than in Washington. Understanding Caryl's hypothesis might make making sense of the state of the world today somewhat easier.David Morley is emeritus professor at the Department of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths in the University of London.

Ve Spojené státech začínají příští týden republikánské primárky. Favoritem je bývalý prezident Donald Trump.

Ustojí americká demokracie letošní volby? A jaký osud čeká Ukrajinu, která je závislá na americké finanční pomoci?Host: Christian Caryl - bývalý editor názorové rubriky Washington Post.Článek a další informace najdete na webu Seznam ZprávySledujte nás na sociálních sítích Twitter a Instagram.

The upcoming election primary season will be like no other. Republican candidate Donald Trump is facing indictments in four criminal cases and has to deal with court verdicts in at least two states that, as of now, keep him off the ballot. Still, Trump is the GOP front-runner. His supporters will vote for him no matter what, says American journalist Christian Caryl.Guest: Christian Caryl - a former editor at the Washington Post and current contributor to The New York Review of Books.Článek a další informace najdete na webu Seznam ZprávySledujte nás na sociálních sítích Twitter a Instagram.

America's unique system of governance, with its separation of powers and de-centralized bureaucracy, has both benefits and drawbacks. But our special guest this week, Professor Jake Grumbach of the University of Washington, argues that this system is strained to the breaking point. National parties have promoted uniformity of beliefs which have all but eliminated regional differences and local control. Jake joins us for an extended discussion about where he thinks the country is headed. PLUS: Campaigning in Pennsylvania, President Biden draws a stark contrast between himself and his leading Republican opponent for 2024. AND: Remembering Mikhail Gorbachev, who died this week at the age of 91. Additional guests include legal analyst Royal Oakes, ABC's Jay O'Brien, and Christian Caryl of the Washington Post. The Northwest Politicast with Jeff Pohjola: From this Washington to that one, Jeff Pohjola will explore the issues and politics of the week. Frequent guests and top analysts break down the news to get to the heart of what matters most. Subscribe at nwnewsradio.com or on your favorite podcast app.

With this podcast we begin a new series, Meanwhile on an Abandoned Bookshelf, in which we discuss books that mean something to us or have a particular importance for us. While we might sometimes discuss new books we will mostly concentrate on older and overlooked publications. In this episode Owen Kelly and David Morley discuss Strange Rebels: 1979 and the Birth of the 21st Century written by Christian Caryl and published in 2014. Neither of them agree with Caryl's political position but instead argue about the usefulness of the approach he takes to history.

2:51: Does it matter if the President of the United States tells the press he’s going to a private dinner in New York? Journalists and press advocates say yes, but the Washington press corps has never seen the likes of Donald J. Trump before. The Sun’s media critic David Zurawik talks about the president-elect and the press and what could continue to be a rough relationship, with Trump making his own rules as he goes. We also look at the press’s willingness to call out lies and racist actions by government officials, from the presidency down to small-town officials. If The New York Times does it, should all news organizations, or is that, as Zurawik states, a slippery slope?18:50: With Hillary Clinton the latest presidential candidate to win the popular vote but lose the Electoral College, is it time to dump the electors for a presidency by direct, popular vote? Christian Caryl is the editor of Democracy Lab, a project of Foreign Policy magazine in conjunction with the Legatum Institute, a London-based think tank that promotes prosperity through reforms of capitalism and democracy. In an essay this week, Caryl argues that it’s time for a national conversation about how we pick our presidents and other political reforms.Links:http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/17/business/media/under-a-trump-administration-presidential-press-pool-may-be-a-ritual-under-threat.htmlhttp://www.cjr.org/analysis/trump_liar_media.phphttp://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/20161115/clay-mayor-resigns-after-commenting-on-racist-facebook-posthttp://www.npr.org/2016/09/22/494919548/new-york-times-editor-we-owed-it-to-our-readers-to-call-trump-claims-lieshttp://cookpolitical.com/story/10174http://www.li.com/programmes/democracy-labhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rBqv-O8XJQhttp://foreignpolicy.com/2016/11/11/lets-face-it-the-u-s-constitution-needs-a-makeover/

Editor of the Washington Post’s DemocracyPost blog, Christian Caryl, discusses the challenges facing democracy around the world and whether we are at a major inflection point in history. He talks about the current crisis facing western democracy and why its implications are vitally important for Americans. Caryl, a self-described “troll magnet,” also talks about the difficulty of countering fake news and the Russian information war. He explains the rules that guide the work of journalists in the United States, and how increasing media literacy is important for rebuilding the public’s trust in the media.

In October 2015, Princeton University Professor of Economics and International Affairs, Angus Deaton, was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for his work charting global developments in health, wellbeing and inequality. The Legatum Institute was delighted to host Professor Deaton, in conversation with Democracy Lab editor, Christian Caryl, for a discussion on what it was like to receive 'that' phone call from Stockholm. They also discuss the debate around 'wealth versus health', and the rise of 'big data'.

Alina Mungiu-Pippidi (Hertie School of Government) discusses her new book, 'The Quest for Good Governance: How Societies Develop Control of Corruption' which shows why only so few succeeded in building control of corruption. Her research ranges from medieval Italy to contemporary Uruguay to illustrate what good governance means in practice and what a sound anti-corruption strategy looks like. Interviewed by Christian Caryl, Senior Fellow at the Legatum Institute and editor of Democracy Lab.

FP's Rebecca Frankel and Ilya Lozovsky talk to Christian Caryl about campaign rallies, voters who are betting on hope and change, and Aung San Suu Kyi.

Aung San Suu Kyi has been the face of Burma's pro-democracy opposition for more than 20 years—5 of them spent in detention. This week, her party has soared to victory in the country's historic 2015 elections. Christian Caryl, Democracy Lab editor and Legatum Institute Senior Fellow, reports from Rangoon.

This Reader's Corner interview was first broadcast in January, 2014

In an event at the Legatum Institute, author, veteran journalist and 'Democracy Lab' Editor, Christian Caryl, discussed his new book which shows how the world we live in today-and the problems that plague it-began to take shape in the pivotal year of 1979. The discussion was moderated by Anne Applebaum, Director of Global Transitions at the Legatum Institute

What do Margaret Thatcher, Ayatollah Khomeini, Deng Xiaoping, and Pope John Paul II have in common? At first thought, you wouldn’t think much. But according to Christian Caryl, they were all radicals who began to change the world in 1979. In Strange Rebels:1979 and the Birth of the 21st Century (Basic Books, 2013), Caryl argues that these very different people from these very different places were brought together by one thing: a belief that the future would not be secular and socialist (as most of the old-line socialist and liberal establishment thought), but rather religious and capitalist. The Marxist project in all its forms, they said, had failed. People did not abandon their faiths, nor did they accept socialist economies. They wanted to worship and they wanted to be free. Thatcher, Khomeini, Xiaoping, and John Paul’s reactionary revolution, as it turned out, was successful. We live in the world they helped create. Learn more about your ad choices.
