In this archive listen from 2013, we explore the global political impact of a leader whose legacy and influence is still being questioned today: Angela Merkel. As with any leader, a legacy isn't set in stone and as the dust settles on Merkel's chancellorship, which spanned from 2005 to 2021, questions are being asked about decisions she made during her time in power. Most pertinent today, with the arrival of war in Ukraine, is Germany's accommodating trade relationship with Russia. But there were dissenting voices on Merkel's leadership back in 2013. Amid the fallout of the financial crisis, Germany found itself as the key central player holding the fates of less buoyant European economies such as Greece and Portugal in its hands. Many in those countries felt that Merkel's hardline approach to fiscal measures, essentially holding the purse strings for much of Europe, was crippling their own nations. So we debated the motion: Angela Merkel is Destroying Europe. Hosting the the debate was former BBC World News broadcaster Nik Gowing, joined by journalists Mehdi Hasan and Christine Ockrent. Plus, historian Antony Beevor and Greek politician Euclid Tsakalotos. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the book launch for Rescue: From Global Crisis to a Better World, Ian Goldin, Author, and Nik Gowing, Founder at Thinking the Unthinkable, will discuss how the pandemic provides a unique opportunity to tackle today's challenges. We are at a crossroads. Covid-19 has wreaked havoc but also offers the potential for radical change. Ian Goldin explains why bouncing back to business as usual would be disastrous, leading to escalating inequality, potentially more devastating pandemics and escalating climate change. Drawing on the experience of history, Ian identifies how during the Second World War the welfare state and new world order was created to build more cohesive societies and overcome global threats. The book and this talk examines the impact of the pandemic on the future of jobs, cities, globalisation, governments and businesses. The talk provides an analysis of what is to be done, and shows how the pandemic could lead to a better world.

DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!!Executive leadership faces new vulnerabilities. Many leaders privately concede them, but few are willing to talk publicly about them. 'Unthinkable' events since 2014 have revealed a new leadership fragility at the highest levels. The pace of change shows that the uncertainties are greater than ever.Is this the 'new normal?' Thinking The Unthinkable is an investigation into why leaders have appeared more unable or unwilling than ever to anticipate the biggest issues of our time. In an era of 'wicked problems' why are current leadership behaviours and culture apparently not fit for purpose?What are the causes of so many failures in policy and strategic forecasting?Are they human frailties? Or are they systemic failures to embrace smartly new realities?Through hundreds of interviews and conversations, Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon have analysed the deep new challenges to the human capacity of leaders at the highest keels to accept, understand, embrace then handle the extraordinary processes of change and disruption. This essential book draws on the candid responses. The findings will be disconcerting to leaders at all levels.We live in what might be the most disrupted time in history, hundred year old industries are disappearing over night. Things that we considered normal have nothing to do with what’s going on. In fact much of what’s going on today we would have considered “Unthinkable” not very long ago. The question is how can we as leaders thrive in a time where the unthinkable is the norm? Well let’s find out together…This has one of my most intriguing interviews.

This week on Policy Forum Pod, we take a look at shocks to the system – from Trump to Brexit – and ask whether our institutions are up to the task of dealing with them. We take a close look at Brexit and ask whether the promoters and supporters of Brexit really understood what would be involved, how the European Union has – and should have – responded, and where it might all be headed as the UK hurtles towards Brexit Day. From referendum to the day the UK is currently planned to leave the European Union, it’s been three years in the making, but Brexit maintains its ability to surprise commentators, policymakers and the politicians pushing both for and against it. This week on the pod our expert panel -­ Nik Gowing, Anne McNaughton, and Alister Wedderburn - take a look at shocks to democratic systems with a focus on Brexit and ask whether we should have seen them coming, if we are responding properly when they happen, and where the next shock might come from. Our presenters, Sue Regan and Paul Wyrwoll, also discuss Australia’s recent population policy that aims to reduce migration by a third, and the use of consultancies by government. They also take a look at some of the comments and questions you’ve left for us. This week on the pod, we’ve welcomed: Nik Gowing is the founder of Thinking the Unthinkable which is an independent project that investigates global leadership in a time of disruption in the world.

Anne McNaughton is a Senior Lecturer at the ANU College of Law, as well as being a Fellow of the European Law Institute and one of the coordinators of the Special Interest Group on Contract Tort and Property Law. Anne’s research focuses on the European Union as a unique legal order in international law. Alister Wedderburn is the John Vincent Postdoctoral Fellow at the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, and teaches at the school as well. Alister’s work is broadly concerned with the relationship between international relations and visual, literary, and popular culture. In addition, he is also interested in political and international political theory, post-structuralist and continental philosophy, and practices of resistance.

Nik Gowing has spent his career breaking news: in this episode he and Karin sit down and explore some of the most incredible stories Nik has reported on. His new book, ‘Thinking the Unthinkable’, tackles the conformity of the political system. 

Former BBC World News presenter, Nik Gowing, on findings from his 'Think the Unthinkable' project, and how the conformity that gets people to the top leaves them ill-equipped to understand the enormity of change and disruption under way in today's world.

Thinking The Unthinkable Britain out of the EU? President Trump? To express incredulity is not a political judgment. Until a few weeks ago, what many viewed as outlandish ‘unthinkables’ were not even being considered or investigated as part of corporate or political risk assessments. Now they have to be.

Broadcasters and journalists – including Nik Gowing, who was on air on BBC 2 and was the first to break the news – recall how they announced the news of Diana’s death to the nation on 31 August 1997.

Event recording from 8/11/2016 Speaker: Nik Gowing, Visiting Professor at King’s College London, Department of War Studies, and Nanyang Technological University Singapore Chair: Professor Mats Berdal, Director of CSDRG, War Studies, King's College London. Abstract: 'Thinking the Unthinkable: Brexit? Trump? Migration? Russia? Why leaders have lost the plot on multiple issues.' 'Why are leaders so out of step with those they represent, or who buy products from them ? A proliferation of ‘unthinkable’ events over the last two years starting with the Russian seizure of Crimea, the 60% crash in oil prices and Europe’s migration crises, has revealed a new fragility at the highest levels of corporate and public service leadership. What are the reasons? After the unexpected result of the Brexit referendum, many question the capacity and readiness of leading executives, public servants and politicians to think unthinkables before they happen. The old assumptions and norms underpinning decision-making can no longer assume to be fit for purpose. In a world where low growth seems to be the only certainty, many confess to being overwhelmed as they struggle to find new bearings. Nik Gowing, Visiting Professor at King’s College London, Department of War Studies, and Nanyang Technological University Singapore presents new research evidence from the past two years on why the top levels in government and corporates fail to anticipate then manage crises. Using evidence collated from 2000 pages of transcripts from several hundred interviews before the Brexit vote and the political impact of Trump, Nik Gowing reveals why leaders struggle to identify then adapt to the new, fast changing and ill-defined normal. Many confess privately to being unsighted and scared. The conformity which got them to the top disqualifies them from accepting the scale of new realities. And most remain in denial. The findings of 'Thinking the Unthinkable' offer somber finding for current leaders and those who aspire to succeed them. An interim summary and analysis of the new evidence is available at www.thinkunthinkable.org' For more information, visit https://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/departments/warstudies/events/eventsrecords/Thinking-the-Unthinkable-Brexit-Trump-Migration-Russia-Why-Leaders-Have-Lost-the-Plot.aspx
