From Dylan to democracy, from Bobby Kennedy to Putin's Russia - this wide-ranging conversation with Michael Ignatieff riffs off “The Adults in the Room,” his latest essay for Liberties Quarterly. A liberal intellectual and politician who grew up enchanted by the Sixties counterculture, Ignatieff is deeply concerned by the American lurch into MAGAism. That said, however, the Canadian still seems (half) in love with the United States and hasn't totally given up on what he calls liberalism's “incorrigible vitality”. Here are the 5 KEEN ON takeaways from our conversation with Ignatieff:* Ignatieff sees the current global situation as potentially the biggest change since 1945, marked by a fundamental shift in America's approach to international relations under Trump - from viewing allies as sources of power to treating them as potential adversaries to be exploited.* He describes a profound crisis in the international rules-based order, with institutions like the UN Security Council deadlocked, Geneva Conventions being ignored in current conflicts, and increasing reckless behavior by powers like Russia that threatens international stability and safety.* Drawing from his experience as both a liberal intellectual and politician, Ignatieff traces the decline of the liberal coalition in America to growing class divides between credentialed elites and working people, as well as racial backlash to civil rights progress - while still defending liberalism's achievements in expanding inclusion and rights.* Despite current challenges, Ignatieff maintains a deep faith in what he calls liberalism's "incorrigible vitality," seeing it not just as a political program but as a way of life based on civility, listening, and finding ways for people to live together despite differences.* Ignatieff argues that middle powers like Canada, Denmark and others have a crucial role to play in helping to establish "deconfliction" protocols between major powers and rebuilding a minimal rules-based order to prevent catastrophic conflicts - not out of virtue but out of legitimate fear of what could happen without such guardrails.Writer, historian, professor and politician, Michael Ignatieff was born in Canada, educated at the University of Toronto and Harvard and now lives and works in Vienna, Austria where he is a professor of history at Central European University. He is married to Zsuzsanna Zsohar and has two children. He has written biography, reportage, history, philosophy and his books have been published in many languages.

On Monday, Justin Trudeau announced he'll resign as Liberal leader and Prime Minister once the party picks a successor, bringing an end to almost a decade in power. Marci Surkes gives us an inside view of the Liberal party before and during the Trudeau years.    Marci Surkes was executive director for policy and cabinet in Justin Trudeau's Prime Minister's Office. She ran the caretaker government during the 2021 election. She is now the Chief Strategy Officer for Compass Rose. 

Michael Ignatieff er forfatter, forsker og tidligere canadisk oppositionsleder. Og så er han for faste lyttere af Langsomme Samtaler en gammel kending. For Rune Lykkeberg har i tidligere udgaver af programmet talt med Ignatieff, når der har været brug for at forstå en verden i brand, der virker håbløs. Denne gang er samtaleemnet Trumps valgsejr og konsekvenserne af den. Samtalen tager udgangspunkt i Ignatieffs bog Fire and Ashes: Success and Failure in Politics, som undersøger det liberale demokrati og dets aktører. For det nederlag, som liberalismen har lidt ved Trumps sejr, er ikke det første – og heller ikke det sidste. Ignatieff mener, at liberalismen, især neoliberalismen, langsomt har undermineret sine egne institutioner og mobiliseringskraft ved at tilgodese de rigeste, frem for dem, den er sat i verden for at beskytte – og det er dette, der blandt andet har ført til Trumps sejr. Alligevel er der ingen grund til at frygte liberalismens fald i USA, mener Ignatieff, for liberalismens værdier og afledte rettigheder er så indlejrede i befolkningen, at de kræfter, der vil afskaffe dem, vil møde uoverkommelig modstand. 

Oliver Rathkolb in conversation with Michael Ignatieff HUMAN RIGHTS AT 75: END TIMES OR REBIRTH? 75 Years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948, is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by Representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, it set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. In their talk at Bruno Kreisky Forum, Oliver Rathkolb and Michael Ignatieff will debate whether human rights have a future in a world where the international order is in tatters, violence has inflamed the Middle East, and Ukraine struggles to repel an invasion.  A rebirth of moral universalism, a commitment to the equality of peoples and nations, has never been more urgent, but is it possible?   Michael Ignatieff served as President and Rector of the Central European University between 2016 and 2021. He now is a professor in CEU's history department. An international commentator on contemporary issues of democracy, human rights, and governance and a Canadian citizen, Ignatieff is also an award-winning writer, teacher, former politician, and historian with a deep knowledge of Central and Eastern Europe. Oliver Rathkolb is Professor of Contemporary History at the Department of Contemporary History at the University of Vienna, and has chaired the department from 2016-22. He is Chairperson of the Academic Committee of the House of European History and Member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Bruno Kreisky Forum. He has published numerous books on European and Austrian history, on the history of international relations and on cultural and economic history.

In this conversation, RevDem editor Michał Matlak speaks with Michael Ignatieff about his recent book On Consolation: Finding Solace in Dark Times (Macmillan, 2021), a series of portraits of writers, artists, and musicians searching for consolation. Ignatieff shows how, throughout history, people in very difficult life situations have looked to arts, philosophy, and religion to regain hope. The book reconstructs the moments when these figures found the courage to face their fate and find hope. One of the arguments in On Consolation is that we can revive these traditions of consolation and they can still help us. In this conversation, Igatieff and Matlak discuss the role of religion in the modern world, whether conservative liberalism is possible today, the cancel culture, the (im)possibility of European integration, and much more.

Writer, historian, academic, and former politician Michael Ignatieff joins Digging Deep for a wide-ranging conversation on one of the most poignant and enduring aspects of human life: how we cope with loss. Drawing on his new book, On Consolation, Ignatieff shares how he lost both his father and mother within just a few years of each other, and how he came to accept that loss. He talks about how sometimes consolation isn't possible and that it's not always necessary to find meaning in tragedy. He provides a powerful reminder that human life has not changed as much as we think it has over the centuries, and that whatever we experience has been experienced by others over the centuries. He also talks about the changes he sees happening in the world and his hope in what he calls “the fiendish ingenuity of the human species.” Michael touches on his time as a politician, and shares some very candid opinions on the current state of politics. Listen in as we talk about dreaming big, the humbling experience that is life, and Michael's overarching message that we are not alone. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wer Leid erfährt, braucht Trost. Doch wo finden Säkulare in individualistischen Gesellschaften Trost? Der kanadische Historiker Michael Ignatieff findet ihn in der Gewissheit, dass Intellektuelle, Autorinnen, Musiker und römische Kaiser Jahrhunderte vor uns Trost gefunden und gespendet haben. Trost scheint ein Urbedürfnis zu sein, wenn man sich die Menschheitsgeschichte anschaut. Das Buch Hiob, die Psalmen und die Werke so unterschiedlicher Intellektueller wie Marc Aurel, Karl Marx, Primo Levi oder Cicely Saunders sind Quellen der Hoffnung für Michael Ignatieff. Aufgewachsen in Toronto als Sohn russischer Immigranten gehört der Historiker und Autor zu den wichtigsten Intellektuellen im angelsächsischen Raum. Nach einem Abstecher in die Politik in seinem Heimatland, wurde Ignatieff einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit als Rektor der Central European University bekannt, die 2021 aus politischen Gründen von Budapest nach Wien umziehen musste. Olivia Röllin spricht mit Michael Ignatieff über den Glauben in einer säkularen Gesellschaft, die Kraft des Trostes und warum man manchmal untröstlich ist.

In memoriam of the coalition state-building adventure in Afghanistan, we look to the inveterate morons who continue to ventriloquize the "humanitarian empire" of the United States, including Canada's own failed philosopher king: Michael Ignatieff. Way back in 2001, Ignatieff painted the picture of the Afghanistan project in the New York Times, which now deserves a second-look.

In the latest episode of Pod Bless Canada, MLI Senior Fellow Marcus Kolga was joined by historian, political scientist, former Liberal Party of Canada leader, and the President and Rector of Central European University, Michael Ignatieff. The two discuss the seemingly growing conflict between liberalism and rising populism, particularly in Eastern Europe. Throughout their wide-ranging discussion, Ignatieff shares his insights on the challenges posed by populist forces, the role of Russian disinformation, the tensions between climate action and resource development, the burgeoning "Wexit" movement, and many more salient and important topics. Ultimately, Ignatieff argues that while there are worrying elements within populism, it is a democratic response to real problems, and he remains an optimist that the institutions of Western liberalism will continue to hold in the face of mounting challenges.

Central European University's President Michael Ignatieff is a human rights scholar, an educator, a former politician, and, as he tells us, the son of a refugee. He discusses what he calls "the ordinary virtues," such as patience and tolerance; the status of human rights today and the dilemmas of migration; the essential critera for true democracy; and the ideal curriculum. His advice to students: Learn to think for yourself.  

In this special edition of De Balie Podcast, Yoeri Albrecht (Director De Balie) speaks with the president of the Central European University (CEU) Michael Ignatieff. At the end of last year CEU decided to move its offices across the former Iron Curtain to Vienna. The position of the university became untenable after a long-running crackdown by Viktor Orban and the Hungarian authorities. What does this move of CEU say about democracy in Europe and the future of former Iron Curtain countries? Ignatieff is one of the world's most renowned global thinkers, who last year published the instant bestseller 'The Ordinary Virtues'. Broadcasted live in De Balie in Amsterdam, Ignatieff speaks out about Europe and why it's future is hanging in the balance.About the Central European UniversityAfter 25 years of operation in Budapest, Ignatieff announced in December 2018 CEU’s forced move to Vienna. The university, founded in 1991 by US-Hungarian philanthropist George Soros to encourage a free and open society, has been facing criticism since the first government of Viktor Orbán in 1998-2002. After a long fight with Orbán’s authorities the CEU decided to leave the country. It’s the first time ever, a university is forced out of a EU member state. Ignatieff called it ‘a dark day for freedom’.

This event was recorded live at The RSA on Monday 30th October 2017 What fundamental values do human beings hold in common? As globalisation draws us together economically, are our values converging or diverging? Is the principle of human rights becoming a global ethic, or a vanishing preoccupation of the elite? These were some of the questions that led former leader of the Canadian Liberal Party, Michael Ignatieff, to embark on a three-year, eight-nation journey in search of answers. A renowned academic and public thinker, Ignatieff discovered that while human rights may be the language of states and liberal elites, the moral language that counts with most people are the ordinary virtues: tolerance, forgiveness, trust and resilience. These virtues are the moral operating system of global cities and favelas alike, the glue that makes the multicultural experiment work. When order breaks down and conflicts break out, the ordinary virtues do the work of repair and reconciliation.

In this introductory episode, we listen to a keynote address by Michael Ignatieff, the Edward R. Murrow Professor at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and former Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, delivered at the Hauenstein Center in April, 2016. Ignatieff has a strong critique of American politics today – he condemns our politicians’ tendency toward spectacle over substance, especially this year, 2016, and accuses pundits on the left and right of exaggerating and exacerbating our differences. As remedy, Ignatieff prescribes a form of principled centrism. He revives and slightly revises the old idea of the vital center, defining it as the place where the left and right clash and collide, but sometimes do come together.
