Podcasts about identity the demand

We continue our Best of 2022 episodes with an  episode from the Democracy Works podcast, hosted by Jenna Spinelle, Christopher Beem, Michael Berkman. Can liberal democracy withstand the challenges its currently facing? Francis Fukuyama is one of America's leading scholars on liberalism and joins us this week for a discussion about the threats its faces and how we might overcome them.It's no secret that liberalism didn't always live up to its own ideals. In America, many people were denied equality before the law. Who counted as full human beings worthy of universal rights was contested for centuries, and only recently has this circle expanded to include women, African Americans, LGBTQ+ people, and others. Conservatives complain that liberalism empties the common life of meaning. As the renowned political philosopher Francis Fukuyama shows in Liberalism and Its Discontents, the principles of liberalism have also, in recent decades, been pushed to new extremes by both the right and the left: neoliberals made a cult of economic freedom, and progressives focused on identity over human universality as central to their political vision. The result, Fukuyama argues, has been a fracturing of our civil society and an increasing peril to our democracy.Fukuyama isthe Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and a faculty member at Stanford's Institute on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law.

Successful politicians on the right and left often use anger and resentment to build support for their campaigns. "A lot of our politics is dignity politics," argues Stanford political scientist, Francis Fukuyama, our guest in this episode. "It's one group saying, 'look, you are not taking us seriously. You disregard our rights and we demand a different kind of world.'"We discuss whether identity politics are damaging our democracy at a time of deep polarization when many national and global institutions struggle to respond to growing challenges. "We have shifted from arguing about economic policies to arguing about identities," Fukuyama tells us. In his book, "Identity: The Demand for Dignity and The Politics of Resentment," he warns that unless we forge a clear understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continuing conflict. We discuss other solutions, including the need for more civics education, national service, and the benefits of universal healthcare and other policies that help all, instead of focusing on a single group.In the United States, “it's better if both parties actually stick to broad social policy issues that they can argue about, rather than lining themselves up according to biological characteristics,” he says.We examine Fukuyama's provocative analysis of populism, nativism, white nationalism, radical Islam, and authoritarian tendencies that threaten to destabilize democracy and international affairs.Francis Fukuyama is probably best-known for "The End of History and the Last Man", published after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. His other major works include "The Origins of Political Order" and "America at the Crossroads" See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Best-selling author and diplomat Richard Haass speaks with Stanford professor and author Francis Fukuyama about Haass' book, “The World: A Brief Introduction”, and other timely topics. Dr. Richard Haass is president of the Council on Foreign Relations. He served as the senior Middle East adviser to President George H. W. Bush, as director of the Policy Planning Staff under Secretary of State Colin Powell, and as the U.S. envoy to both the Cyprus and Northern Ireland peace talks. “The World: A Brief Introduction” explores the many challenges globalization presents, and clarifies the most influential events and ideas. Haass aims to promote “global literacy” so that readers can make sense of this complicated and interconnected world. Haass is a recipient of the Presidential Citizens Medal, the State Department's Distinguished Honor Award, and the Tipperary International Peace Awards. Haass is also the author or editor of fourteen other books, including the best-selling “A World in Disarray.” Francis Fukuyama is a Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Mosbacher Director of FSI's Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, and Director of Stanford's Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy. Dr. Fukuyama has written widely on issues in development and international politics. His 1992 book, “The End of History and the Last Man,” has appeared in over twenty foreign editions. His most recent book, “Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment,” was published in Sept. 2018.

Our country is deeply divided and we often do not trust one another these days. Ken talks first with Francis Fukuyama, political scientist and author of the 2018 book Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment, about identity and tribalism and how we got here. He then talks with Dave Isay, founder and president of StoryCorps, about how to heal that broken trust through storytelling and listening. The alumni testimonial features Eleanor Vassili, a former facilitator with StoryCorps’ MobileBooth.

As inequality rises around the world, some citizens are losing faith in the liberal democratic capitalism that emerged in the 20th century. Protests from the United States to Belarus share themes of resentment towards economic policies that are seen as inherently unfair. Stanford University’s Larry Diamond and Francis Fukuyama join Ray Suarez and Philip Yun to discuss what’s at stake for liberal democracy and the changing world order.   Guests:  Larry Diamond, Stanford University and author of Ill Winds: Saving Democracy from Russian Rage, Chinese Ambition, and American Complacency Francis Fukuyama, Stanford University and author of Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

She has studied at the University of Cambridge, McGill University in Canada and Quaid-e-Azam University in Pakistan. Before joining King's, Humeira was based at the University of Cambridge as a fellow of King's College and the Centre of South Asian Studies. She is a co-convenor of the London Comparative Political Theory Workshop. Humeira's research explores the shifting demarcations of state, market and society in political imagination, and their relationship with Islamic thought and practice. Her current research focuses on non-liberal conceptions of tolerance. Her research has featured in interviews and articles in The Guardian, BBC World Service, Voice of America, Der Spiegel, Social Science Research Council Online, The Dawn, Express Tribune and Open Democracy.  Dr Paul Sagar is a lecturer in political theory at King's College London. His recent monograph, The Opinion of Mankind: Sociability and the State from Hobbes to Smith, explores Enlightenment accounts of the foundations of modern politics, whilst also addressing contemporary issues regarding how to conceive of the state, and what that means for normative political theory today. He has also published a number of studies on topics such as: the political writings of Bernard Williams, so-called ‘realist' approaches to political philosophy, the nature of liberty under conditions of modernity, and the idea of immortality. Paul is currently in the early stages of two major new projects. The first is a monograph study of Adam Smith's political philosophy as rooted in his conceptions of history and commercial society. The second is an exploration of the idea of the enemy in the history of political thought.  Skip Ahead 0:55: Where do we see this book in Fukuyama's larger oeuvre?  3:39: You can see Hegel's influence more in his previous work, more in terms of a teleological thrust through history, and the metaphysics in Hegel... I really understand to be a kind of battle of ideas. And Fukuyama takes that on, and his argument is more that if we are thinking about ideas that will triumph, then liberal democracy is the best idea. 8:55: I think what Fukuyama wants to say in this Identity book is, the same threats to the last man at the end of history, which is the desire for recognition, will overwhelm contentment with stability. Because even if liberal democracy... would provide all the comforts of life... and solve the economic questions, which we know now that it hasn't... but even back then Fukuyama thought that even if it does that, it will not solve the recognition problem, and if they don't get that recognition, they will break things, they will smash things. 11:14: I actually find the narrative that he tells pretty plausible. The idea that we exist not just with the desire for recognition, but a desire that each of us has an authentic self, an authentic identity, which may be at odds with wider society, and that society itself may be a structural mechanism of oppression.  13:29: His account of the failure of multiculturalism, which... he doesn't actually spell it out in so many words... but he lays the blame on a certain kind of identity politics at the doorstep of the left. What is interesting is... I think there is a problem with thinking of it only as a left failure, partly because the left remains undifferentiated in his thinking. 16:30: I actually think that a huge missing part of the story is... I hate using this term, but the rise of neoliberalism- that what's often labeled as left wing identity politics is much, much more indebted to the intellectual victories of the right. What I mean by that is the rise of the view of the world that everything is about individual choice, every individual is a sovereign consumer who floats through the world unencumbered by structures, making market choices.  19:02: Neoliberalism moves much more strongly towards freedom... or a particular understand of freedom which is entirely unburdened by a relationship to equality... and therefore to the economy and the state. It just becomes this abstract idea.  23:40: If we take out Marx, who does try to bring together ideas and structures in a very kind of comprehensive way, we may disagree with his approach but it's an ambitious one and that's partly why I think he has traction today. But one of the problems we do have in the history of political thought is that the relationship between institutions and ideas is unclear.  29:12: The entire narrative of the enlightenment as some kind of rejection of religion is just deeply deeply implausible... If you take almost all of the major Enlightenment figures, many of them were pious Christians.... the falling of religion in Europe is, if anything, a twentieth century phenomenon.  37:47: There's this culture of Republicans and Democrats, top level politicians, who've perpetrated these wars for decades but of course, their class has not suffered the consequences of any of this. That area of identity, that sense of American betrayal, doesn't seem to get as much of a look in. And again it is very odd to point to America as an example of successful integration when you still have the persistence of these enormous racial divides which cut across the left-right spectrum in all sorts of complex ways.

Mário Amorim Lopes é docente universitário, investigador na área da economia e políticas de saúde, e alguém que se descreve de forma provocadora como “despudoradamente liberal”. O Mário tem sido uma presença activa no discussão pública, seja no blog O Insurgente, no Twitter, ou ainda através dos ensaios sobre a área da saúde que tem escrito no Observador. -> Apoie este projecto e faça parte da comunidade de mecenas do 45 Graus em: 45graus.parafuso.net/apoiar Uma vez que nos identificamos ambos enquanto liberais - eu porventura mais “pudoradamente” do que o Mário -, e talvez, quem sabe, por eu ser um tudo-nada do contra, tentei puxar mais por temas em que previa que fôssemos discordar.  Resultou, por isso, numa conversa desafiante, embora até tenhamos discordado menos do que pensei inicialmente (o que mostra bem como não se deve reduzir as pessoas a rótulos).  Entre os temas em que estivemos alinhados destaco um que o Mário trouxe à conversa: o papel que os privados podem ter na saúde ou no ensino, e que não é, à priori, incompatível com um sistema de acesso universal.. Falámos também de questões que extravasam Portugal, como o aumento da concentração de riqueza em países como os EUA, e o aumento do poder de mercado de alguns gigantes tecnológicos; temas que me parece deverem suscitar no mínimo dúvidas entre liberais, visto que poder económico, esteja ele com indivíduos ou com empresas, facilmente converte-se em poder político. Discutimos ainda uma crítica que faço a uma parte relevante da direita liberal em Portugal, que, em muitos casos, fala muito em meritocracia mas parece, na prática, dar pouca atenção a tentar diminuir a desigualdade de oportunidades. Terminámos a discutir o que me parece ser um dos grandes desafios actuais para um progressista liberal: como fazer oposição às agendas políticas que vêm a reboque da expansão da política identitária e das tentativas de condicionamento do discurso sem deixar de reconhecer que existem, inegavelmente, problemas urgentes de injustiça social subjacentes que não se vão resolver sozinhos. No total, percorremos uma série de temas, uns mais sociais outros mais económicos: Origem do pensamento político do convidado;  A personalidade de um liberal A confusão entre desigualdade e pobreza A concentração de riqueza em indivíduos e o poder de mercado dos gigantes tecnológicos nos EUA. Os problemas gémeos de Portugal: falta de crescimento económico vs desigualdade de oportunidades O “preconceito ideológico” que impede a discussão sobre o fornecimento privado de saúde ou ensino com financiamento público Não está muita gente que se diz liberal ec defensora da meritocracia  na realidade mais preocupada com liberalizar mercados e menos com diminuir a desigualdade de oportunidades Estado Social Políticas identitárias Uma última nota ainda para a qualidade do som, que não é a melhor, visto que a conversa foi gravada remotamente, mas acho que não incomoda excessivamente.  Obrigado aos mecenas do podcast: Gustavo Pimenta; Eduardo Correia de Matos Joana Faria Alves, Joao Manzarra, João Baltazar, Mafalda Lopes da Costa, Salvador Cunha, Tiago Leite, Duarte Dória Abilio Silva, António Padilha, Carlos Martins, Carmen Camacho, Daniel Correia, Diogo Sampaio Viana, Francisco Fonseca, Helder Miranda, Joao Saro, João Nelas, Mafalda Pratas, Rafael Melo, Rafael Santos, Ricardo Duarte, Rita Mateus, Tiago Neves Paixão, Tiago Queiroz, Tomás Costa, José Soveral, João Almeida Duarte, Filipe Ribeiro, Francisco Aguiar , Francisco Arantes, Francisco dos Santos, Francisco Vasconcelos, Henrique Lopes Valença, Henrique Pedro, Hugo Correia, isosamep, Joana Margarida Alves Martins, Joao Diogo, Joao Pinto, Joao Salvado, Jose Pedroso, José Galinha, José Oliveira Pratas, JosÉ Proença, JoÃo Diogo Silva, JoÃo Moreira, JoÃo Raimundo, Luis Ferreira, Luis Marques, Luis Quelhas Valente, Marco Coelho, Mariana Barosa, Marise Almeida, Marta Baptista Coelho, Marta Madeira, Miguel Coimbra, Miguel Palhas, Nuno Gonçalves, Nuno Nogueira, Pedro, Pedro alagoa, Pedro Rebelo, Pedro Vaz, Renato Vasconcelos, Ricardo Delgadinho, rodrigo brazÃo, Rui Baldaia, Rui Carrilho, Rui Passos Rocha, Telmo, Tiago Costa da Rocha, Tiago Pires, Tomás Félix, Vasco Lima, Vasco Sá Pinto, Vitor Filipe, Ricardo Nogueira, Alexandre Almeida, Francisco Arantes, João Crispim, Paulo dos Santos, Élio Mateus, André Peralta Santos, João Pinho   Esta conversa foi editada por: Martim Cunha Rego Referências abordadas na conversa: The Constitution of Liberty -  Friedrich A.

A conversation with philosopher Patrick Lee Miller about Francis Fukuyama's new book: Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment (2018).

A conversation with philosopher Patrick Lee Miller about Francis Fukuyama’s new book: Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment (2018).

Continuing on Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment (2018). Fukuyama recommends a "creedal national identity" as a solution for tribalism; does this work? Is this "demand for recognition" that he describes foundational for the act of making an ethical claim? For self-consciousness itself? How does ideology prejudice the sort of theorizing that Fukuyama engages in? Listen to part one first, or get the unbroken, ad-free Citizen Edition. Please support PEL!

Talking to the author about Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment (2018). What motivates people? Frank points to thymos, the demand for recognition, as at the root of both the "end of history" (i.e., democracy as demand for equal recognition) and our current tribalist stalemates, involving desires to be seen—in virtue of group membership—as superior. Thymos may in fact be central to self-consciousness, ethics, and the origins of political association. See PEL Live in NYC on April 6. Get your 2019 PEL Wall Calendar with free domestic shipping!

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was progressively captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatened to destabilize the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to “the people,” who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole. Demand for recognition of one’s identity is a master concept that unifies much of what is going on in world politics today. The universal recognition on which liberal democracy is based has been increasingly challenged by narrower forms of recognition based on nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, or gender, which have resulted in anti-immigrant populism, the upsurge of politicized Islam, the fractious “identity liberalism” of college campuses, and the emergence of white nationalism. Populist nationalism, said to be rooted in economic motivation, actually springs from the demand for recognition and therefore cannot simply be satisfied by economic means. The demand for identity cannot be transcended; we must begin to shape identity in a way that supports rather than undermines democracy. Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment is an urgent and necessary book—a sharp warning that unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continuing conflict.

Dr. Francis Fukuyama sits down with Cameron Munter to discuss his latest book: "Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment." "The question before us is whether this populist upsurge is kind of a stock market correction, or whether it represents a bigger shift that will have a much longer term duration," says Fukuyama.

Dr. Francis Fukuyama is the political scientist who became famous for a 1989 essay titled "The End of History?" The essay arrived right as the Cold War was winding down, and raised the question: Has democracy and free market capitalism won the day? At the time -- with the Soviet Union collapsing -- the spread liberal values and institutions to the remaining countries of the world could easily have seemed like an inevitablity. As we’ve seen, though, it hasn’t quite turned out that way, and in recent years, democratic institutions in many countries have been losing ground just as populous leaders, some with very illeberal views, have made gains.  If there has been a delay to the end of history, Dr. Fukuyama says one issue we should take a good long look at is that of identity. It's a potent force that he says lies behind diverse movements: from brexit to black lives matter to the rise of authoritarianism in Russia.  On this edition In Depth we discuss Dr. Fukuyama’s new book titled Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment, and examine the outsized influence that identity politics is playing in the major events shaping our world today.   Guest: Francis Fukuyama, director of the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law at Stanford University 

“Identity politics" has become a driving force in political conversations in the U.S. and abroad, but what exactly is it? Where did it come from, and how will it shape the future of our society? FSI Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow and CDDRL Mosbacher Director Francis Fukuyama joins host Michael McFaul to explain how his new book, “Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment,” sheds light on these questions and reveals how our political trajectory from the civil rights era to 21st century populism has been shaped by a universal human desire for respect and recognition.

What's it like to be banned from your own country or to have your writing spark a row? Rana Mitter's guests talk identity, borders, forest landscapes and the long impact of the Ottoman empire. The American political scientist Francis Fukuyama is associated with the phrase "the end of history". His latest book Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment looks at what he sees as the threats to Liberalism. Alev Scott has travelled through 12 countries, talking to figures including warlords and refugees for her book Ottoman Odyssey: Travels Through a Lost Empire but she can't return to her birthplace. She's joined by New Generation Thinker Michael Talbot who teaches at the University of Greenwich and whose research has uncovered the drunken antics of soldiers in post World War I Istanbul. He's a contributor to http://www.ottomanhistorypodcast.com/ and he reviews Like a Sword Wound by Ahmet Altan -published now in an English translation by Yelda Türedi and Brendan Freely. It's the first book in the Ottoman Quartet, a narrative that spans the history of Turkey during the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The writer is now in prison for life. The Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk won the 2018 Man Booker International Prize for her novel Flights. Her latest novel to be translated into English by Antonia Lloyd Jones is called Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead and became the film Spoor directed by directed by Agnieszka Holland. Her writing has been called anti-Catholic. You can find more discussions about borders, home and belonging in this playlist of programmes https://bbc.in/2QALzkL

Is all politics identity politics? And if so, then what does it mean to condemn identity politics in the first place? That’s the subject of my discussion with Stanford political scientist Francis Fukuyama. In his new book, Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment, he builds a theory of what identity means in modern societies and how spiraling demands for recognition are tearing at the fabric of our politics. "The retreat on both sides into ever narrower identities threatens the possibility of deliberation and collective action by the society as a whole," he writes. "Down this road lies, ultimately, state breakdown and failure.” Yikes. Fukuyama’s book revolves around a question I’ve become a bit obsessed by: When do we see political claims as identity politics, and when do we see them as just politics? What’s obscured in the passage from one boundary to another? Whose agendas are served by it? And in a country whose narrative of progress and perfection is inextricably bound up in the success of past moments of identity politics, how did this come to be such a vilified term today? So I asked Fukuyama on the show to discuss it. This is a great conversation with one of the foremost political thinkers of our age.

The rise of global populism is the greatest threat to global democracy, and it's mainly driven not by economics, but by people's demand for public recognition of their identities, says political scientist Francis Fukuyama. "We want other people to affirm our worth, and that has to be a political act." How is this playing out in the U.S., Europe, and Asia? What practical steps can we take to counteract it?

Are identity politics ruining democracy? National and global institutions are in a state of decay, and identity fuels much of today's debates in America and across the world. On the right, Donald Trump seized on the grievances and resentment of white working class voters and others who felt let down by the impact of globalism and technology. On the left, social and political movements based on gender, sexual identity, race and ethnicity play an increasingly large role. "The problem with our politics is that we have shifted from arguing about economic policies to arguing about identities," says our guest, political scientist, Francis Fukuyama. In his new book, "Identity: The Demand for Dignity and The Politics of Resentment," he warns that unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continual conflict. In the United States, “it’s better if both parties actually stick to broad social policy issues that they can argue about, rather than lining themselves up according to biological characteristics,” he tells us in this episode.We examine Fukuyama's provocative analysis of populism, nativism, white nationalism, radical Islam, and authoritarian tendencies that threaten to destabilize democracy and international affairs.Francis Fukuyama is a political scientist at Stanford University. His best-known book is "The End of History and the Last Man", published after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
