It says nearly three-quarters of the global population now live under autocratic rulers - putting democracy at its lowest point in forty years. It's a bleak reality that our first guest saw coming. Writer and activist Ece Temelkuran left Turkey ten years ago after learning she might be arrested for criticizing President Erdogan. Temelkuran joins the show to discuss her new book, "Nation of Strangers."   Also on today's show: Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chairperson, Qatar Museums and Doha Film Institute; Tig Notaro, co-producer of “Come See Me in the Good Light," joined by the subject of the documentary, poet Megan Falley    Learn more about your ad choices.

What does it mean to belong when the very idea of home is under threat? In this episode we're joined by award-winning author and political thinker Ece Temelkuran. Forced into exile for her critical views of President Erdoğan, Temelkuran has long signalled the alarm that fascism threatens not only her home country Türkiye, but the whole democratic world. Her first book in English, How to Lose a Country, received international praise. Her second, Together, offers ‘a way out from the political and moral insanity' that is ushered by the global rise of fascism.  Now Temelkuran joins host Mythili Rao to discuss her new book, Nation of Strangers, a powerful and personal reappraisal of the concept of exile, migration and rebuilding home in the 21st century. Increasingly, oppression seems to be spreading, institutions crumbling, and certainties dissolving. Across the world, the number of refugees and exiles, the dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless and economically excluded is growing. In response, Nation of Strangers takes the form of intimate, urgent letters written from one stranger to another, exploring alienation, resistance, solidarity and hope.

Immer mehr Menschen werden in Zukunft ihre Heimat verlieren. Durch den Klimawandel, Kriege oder Diktaturen. Oder einfach, weil die politischen Verhältnisse sich so ändern, dass man sich plötzlich im eigenen Land fremd und heimatlos fühlt. Die Journalistin Ece Temelkuran fordert in ihrem neuen, sehr persönlichen Buch "Nation of Strangers" Heimat neu zu denken. Bevor sie die Türkei 2016 aus politischen Gründen verlassen musste, war sie eine der wichtigsten Stimmen der türkischen Zivilgesellschaft. radio3-Kritikerin Nadine Kreuzahler hat "Nation of Strangers" gelesen.

Send us a textNext February, Canongate will publish Nation of Strangers, the third instalment in a series by Turkish novelist, essayist and journalist Ece Temelkuran. Ahead of its publication we met to discuss the two books that precede it, ‘How To Lose A Country' and ‘Together - A Manifesto Against A Heartless World.' Both deal with what Ece has termed ‘cloud fascism' - the gradual then sudden everywhereness and nowhereness of global autocracy.Rooted in her own experience of the Erdogan regime's corruption and unrelenting assault on human rights, both books detail the dark drift toward fascism and the determination and dignity needed in resistance. In this wide ranging conversation, the first of two interviews, we discuss the normalisation of shamelessness, the dangers of pseudo-understanding, the fight for institutions and the essential value of stories, something Ece describes as ‘natural penicillin for diseases of the soul. ‘Ece Temelkuran is an award-winning Turkish novelist, political thinker and public speaker whose work has appeared in the Guardian, New York Times, Le Monde, La Stampa, El Pais, New Statesman and Der Spiegel.  Her novels have been published in several languages and adapted for the stage.‘One of the most acute and perceptive analysts of the furtive growth of fascism. Everyone should know about this.'PHILIP PULLMAN‘This is essential.'MARGARET ATWOOD‘Temelkuran is a brilliant writer, finding humour, hope and humanity in the darkest corners of our current malaise. Together lifted my heart and my spirits.'BRIAN ENO‘A potent mix of fierce urgency but unyielding calmness.'THE IRISH TIMESMusic used on this episode is Room 2 by 36 @fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

How are the tech oligarchs shaping our democracies? In conversation with former EU-parliament member Marietje Schaake and journalist Ece Temelkuran.In his farewell speech, President Biden warned of a ‘tech-industrial complex' and an ‘oligarchy of extreme wealth' threatening democracy.

From data privacy scandals to monopolistic practices and spreading misinformation on a wide scale, Big Tech has undermined public trust while molding the very fabric of our democracies.Together with former EU-parliament member Marietje Schaake, author of The Tech Coup, and journalist Ece Temelkuran, author of How to Lose a Country, we investigate the position of tech companies in our democracies.

One person I didn't expect to see at DLD is the feted Turkish writer Ece Temelkuran. Not exactly a regular on the tech circuit, Temelkuran is best known as a critic of the Erdogan regime and author of the influential 2019 book How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship. In our conversation at DLD, Temelkuran argued that the world is experiencing a profound transformation comparable to the Industrial Revolution, where neoliberalism is eroding both democracy and basic human morals. She sees modern fascism operating through entertainment and spectacle rather than traditional military aesthetics, and emphasizes the importance of friendship as both a personal anchor and political concept in resisting authoritarian forces. Currently living in Berlin, she expressed concern about rising far-right movements across Europe. She critiques Silicon Valley and social media, arguing that questions of ownership and profit motives are often obscured by technological utopianism. Despite the challenges, she finds hope in humanity's persistent moral compass and resistance to cynicism, though she prefers the term "faith" over "hope" as it implies a more active engagement with political change.Ece Temelkuran is a prominent Turkish journalist, author, and political commentator born in 1973 in Izmir, Turkey. She began her journalism career in the 1990s and became one of Turkey's most well-known political columnists, writing for major newspapers including Milliyet and Habertürk. Her writings often focus on Turkish politics, women's rights, and global political movements. She has been particularly critical of authoritarianism and populism, drawing from her experiences in Turkey. After facing political pressure, she left Turkey and has lived in various countries including Croatia and the UK. Some of her notable books include: "Turkey: The Insane and the Melancholy" (2016), "How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship" (2019) and "Together: 10 Choices for a Better Now" (2021) She writes in both Turkish and English, and her work has been translated into multiple languages. Her books often combine personal narrative with political analysis, examining themes of democracy, resistance, and social justice.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Over the past two weeks, a number of mysterious objects have been shot down from the skies over the US and Canada. It all began with a suspected Chinese spy balloon, which was brought down off the coast of South Carolina on 4 February. US officials have struggled to explain the three subsequent aerial encounters, leading to conspiracy theories and White House denials that aliens are involved. Meanwhile, the diplomatic rift between China and the US is widening. Megan Gibson in London, Ido Vock in Berlin and Katie Stallard in Washington DC discuss the spy-balloon fiasco, aliens, and where US-China relations go from here. Next, they turn to the ongoing crisis in Turkey and Syria following the devastating earthquake that struck the region on 6 February. As the death toll passes 40,000, the team discuss growing anger towards the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and his government for delays in aid and alleged corruption. Then, in You Ask Us, a listener asks whether Russia could break apart.

Turkish journalist Ece Temelkuran understands the problems of rightwing populism better than most: she lives as an exile, after her criticism of the Erdogan regime threatened her liberty. But despite the very personal toll that our current politics has taken, Ece remains optimistic. The seeds of a new society, she says, lie in communities, and the ways they find to come together.In this episode, Katherine and Ece discuss courage, truth and learning to befriend our fear. We also touch on the power of Twitter in the days before Elon Musk took over - so maybe a little of our optimism was misplaced! But Ece has a unique ability to put our current political conflicts into a global context, and her faith in grassroots action is redemptive. Join the conversation!

This day of action will see strikes and protests take place around the world calling for an end to Amazon's squeeze on workers, communities and the planet. It once seemed like Amazon was simply too big to be fought effectively by workers and the Left. But recent initiatives such as Make Amazon Pay, and this year's successful union drive in the US, have slowly but surely started to make dents in the giant corporation's armour. How can we use Amazon's global presence against them to support these campaigns across borders, and what does the fight against Amazon tell us about our struggle against capitalism more broadly? Our panel, including Yanis Varoufakis, Dusan Pajovic and Amir Kiyaei, debates. Join us live and send us your questions and comments! Support the Make Amazon pay campaign: https://makeamazonpay.com/

5. sezonun ilk bölümünden herkese merhaba! Bu bölümde çok özel bir konuğum var: Ece Temelkuran! Ece Hanım bir süredir Zagreb'de yaşıyordu, yakın zamanda Hamburg'a taşındı ve yurtdışına taşındıktan sonra İngilizce üretim yapmaya ağırlık verdi. "How to Lose a Country" kitabı, İngiltere başta olmak üzere birçok ülkede büyük yankı uyandırdı ve değerli yorumlar aldı. Aynı zamanda, bir süredir Oksijen Gazetesi'ndeki yazılarıyla da bizleri tekrardan ana dilinde beslemeye devam ediyor. Kendisiyle yurtdışında bir yazar olarak yeniden bir yol çizmesini ve Oksijen'de zaman zaman düşüncelerini kaleme aldığı yurtdışına göç konusunu konuştuk.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has set off a new arms race. Countries like Germany are announcing billions of euros in new military spending, and historically neutral nations like Sweden and Finland are now intent on joining NATO. And polls indicate that many of these moves have broad public support. But some believe in a different path for Europe, one that rejects the submission of the continent to both US and Russian interests: neutrality. On May 13, our own Yanis Varoufakis issued the Athens Declaration with Jeremy Corbyn and Ece Temelkuran, calling for such a path. Does neutrality mean indifference in the face of a war of aggression and all the suffering that follows? Can an independent Europe lead the way towards peace? Or is it just a pipedream in a world of nuclear weapons, colossal armies and escalating tensions? Our panel, including Yanis Varoufakis, Erik Edman and more, investigate.

In this week's episode: could President Erdogan broker a peace deal between Putin and the West?  For this week's cover piece, Owen Matthews has written about how Turkey's President Erdogan became a key powerbroker between Vladimir Putin and the Western alliance.
