The Open Society as an Enemy: A critique of how free societies turned against themselves by J. McKenzie Alexander Nearly 80 years ago, Karl Popper gave a spirited philosophical defence of the Open Society in his two-volume work, The Open Society and Its Enemies. In this book, J. McKenzie Alexander argues that a new defence is urgently needed because, in the decades since the end of the Cold War, many of the values of the Open Society have come under threat once again. Populist agendas on both the left and right threaten to undermine fundamental principles that underpin liberal democracies, so that what were previously seen as virtues of the Open Society are now, by many people, seen as vices, dangers, or threats. The Open Society as an Enemy: A Critique of how Free Societies Turned Against Themselves interrogates four interconnected aspects of the Open Society: cosmopolitanism, transparency, the free exchange of ideas, and communitarianism. Each of these is analysed in depth, drawing out the implications for contemporary social questions such as the free movement of people, the erosion of privacy, no-platforming and the increased political and social polarisation that is fuelled by social media. In re-examining the consequences for all of us of these attacks on free societies, Alexander calls for resistance to the forces of reaction. But he also calls for the concept of the Open Society to be rehabilitated and advanced. In doing this, he argues, there is an opportunity to re-think the kind of society we want to create, and to ensure it is achievable and sustainable. This forensic defence of the core principles of the Open Society is an essential read for anyone wishing to understand some of the powerful social currents that have engulfed public debates in recent years, and what to do about them.

McKenzie Alexander is a Professor in Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method in the London School of Economics. From 2012 to 2018, Professor Alexander served as one of the Academic Governors on the Council of the LSE, as well as a member of the Court of Governors. From 2018–2021, he served as the Head of Department. Before joining the department, Alexander was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Philosophy, University of California – San Diego (between 2000 and 2001). Although J.

In deze aflevering duiken Klaas en Bas in Het spel van de populist — het nieuwe boek van Bas Erlings dat deze week is verschenen. Hoe komt het dat populisten verkiezing na verkiezing winnen, zelfs als hun plannen niet werken? Wat gebeurt er in het hoofd van een kiezer als woede overtuigender voelt dan nuance? Waarom kiezen we voor leiders die polariseren in plaats van verbinden?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures 2025: Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law: Continuing Conversations with Karen KnopWe will come together to celebrate the life and scholarship of our colleague and friend, Professor Karen Knop (1960-2022). Karen, until her untimely passing, was the Cecil A Wright Chair at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.Session III Private and Foreign Relations LawProfessor Anne Peters in conversation with Dr Roxana BanuChair: Professor Campbell McLachlanProfessor Peters's talk, 'Populism, Foreign Relations Law, and global order and justice', will discuss populist foreign relations law, which was Karen Knop's last project, at the university of Helsinki and as a Max Planck fellow. This talk will make the point that ongoing transformations of the concept of law itself, of legal procedures, and of legal substance cut across the ‘levels' of governance. And neither identitarian rhetoric, nor trade wars, nor border-fences will bring back an inter-state, Westphalian (or ‘Eastfalian') order. We are living in conditions of global law (and transnational) law. Populist heads of state both deploy and defy this law (concluding populist treaties or deals such as the German-Turkish refugee agreements; denouncing treaties such as ICSID or the Paris Agreement; using their war powers to escape domestic critique; raising tariffs to please their voter-base, and so on). At the same time, domestic, local and transnational actors (ranging from cities to courts to Indigenous peoples, or philanthro-capitalists) activate all kinds of law to resist populism. Such global lawfare destabilises world order but also has a transformative potential. New legal forms (especially informal agreements), new legal processes (such as public interest litigation before the ICJ) and new legal principles (such as One Health; Rectification/reparation; and the exposure of double standards) are responding to the big challenges for global order and justice: the cultural, the social, and the ecological challenge. Dr Banu's talk, 'Foreign Affairs, Self-Determination and Private International Law', begins with the point that foreign affairs questions are often thought to lie at the very edge of private international law, perhaps in the leftover corners of the historical alignment between private and public international law. Similarly, in part on the assumption that private international law settles conflicts of laws between already established states, there wouldn't appear to be any intuitive connection between nationalist or self-determination movements and the field of private international law.This talk will show that these assumptions are mistaken. By engaging with the historical development of the field from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, the talk will show that private international law has been deeply enmeshed in major geopolitical events generally, and in nationalist and self-determination movements, in particular. This enmeshment is neither accidental, nor exclusively modern. It is the inevitable result of some of private international law's main analytical and conceptual building blocks. Anne Peters is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law Heidelberg (Germany), and Professor at the universities of Heidelberg, Freie Universität Berlin and Basel (Switzerland). Roxana Banu is Associate Professor and Tutorial Fellow at the Faculty of Law and Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford.

Discussion Highlights:Global demographic megatrends include aging populations, declining fertility rates, and diverging regional population dynamics.Migration patterns involve both forced displacement from conflict zones such as Ukraine and Palestine and labor migration from the Western Balkans, with climate-related movement remaining unpredictable.Depopulation in the Western Balkans is driven by inaccurate census data, economic factors that incentivize emigration, steadily declining fertility rates, and cultural influences on family size.Many countries in the region face labor shortages as plumbers, electricians, and healthcare workers emigrate, prompting policy responses to attract migrant labor, cover an estimated €600 million integration cost in Croatia, and implement language instruction and integration programs.Populist political discourse often exploits public fears about migration, while political leaders frequently show reluctance to acknowledge domestic labor shortages and plan beyond short electoral cycles.Europe's geopolitical context is shaped by U.S.-China competition, the continuation of the war in Ukraine, and uneven or delayed European responses to crises, such as the conflict in Gaza.The current EU enlargement process is critiqued as overly merit-based, and many argue for the package accession of all Western Balkan states, drawing lessons from Croatia's recent membership and anticipating a changing nature of the future European Union.Bosnia and Herzegovina's post-Dayton governance system succeeded in halting widespread violence but remains hampered by persistent power-sharing gridlock, redundant international structures such as the Office of the High Representative, and ongoing challenges in constitutional and education system reforms.Thirty years after Dayton, instances of inter-ethnic violence have remained low since 1995, but schooling and commemorative practices remain fragmented, and domestic dialogue on wartime accountability has stalled.EU integration offers the potential to replace international oversight with European Union frameworks while addressing governance deficits, pervasive corruption, and the need for electoral reforms.About Alida VračićAlida Vračić is a political scientist and lawyer. She co-founded and serves as executive director of Populari, a Sarajevo-based think tank specializing in post-conflict state-building, democratization, good governance, and migration in the Western Balkans. Vračić holds a law degree from the University of Sarajevo and Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, where she specialized in criminal procedure law, an M.Sc. in International Public Policy from University College London, and completed Executive Education for non-government executives at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

This fiery segment dives into the Biden administration's handling of the East Palestine disaster, highlighting delayed responses, conflicting health claims, and suppressed warnings of cancer risks. It also tackles media-driven economic pessimism despite improving inflation metrics and discusses the rise of populist movements abroad—particularly in Poland—with comparisons to political tactics used against Donald Trump. A provocative, unapologetic take on government accountability, media bias, and the global political landscape.
Fotky s červenou kšiltovkou ze sociálních sítí českých politiků už zmizely, ale odkaz amerického prezidenta je z některých kampaní cítit pořád. Hosty Debaty s Respektem byli politologové Přemysl Rosůlek a Petr Jurek. Moderovala Dominika Perlínová.Americký prezident Donald Trump svým lednovým nástupem do Bílého domu zásadně proměnil americkou i světovou politickou scénu. Jeho komentáře o tom, že by se Kanada měla stát 51. americkým státem pomohly na poslední chvíli k výhře kanadským liberálům a jeho plošná cla zasáhla i do australských voleb. Politologové Přemysl Rosůlek a Petr Jurek ze Západočeské univerzity v Plzni analyzují, zda a jak může Trumpovo chování ovlivnit české voliče a co se mohou z jeho volební taktiky čeští politici přiučit.
Western elites have run into a recurring predicament over the past decade: In a democracy, you can't abolish the voters. Populist coalitions are on the march in Europe, and while they've yet to take over their respective governments like their American counterparts, they aren't going away. So Henry Olsen returns to the podcast to give us the scoop on everybody from the Romanians, who just had their delayed election, to the Poles and Hungarians who have some coming up, along with Reform UK and AfD. We also dig into Trump's so-far successful 'Dirty Harry' theory of justice and the limitations any politician's gotta know — including the transformational ones. Plus, Lileks and Hayward yap about the latest with Harvard, the "stochastic terrorism" that killed two young Jews in DC, and Original Sin...- Soundbite from this week's open: UK PM Kier Starmer pivots on immigration

Many EU leaders were undoubtedly relieved when the result of the Romanian presidential election was announced on the night of May 18. Nicusor Dan, who had campaigned on a platform of pro-Western stability, defeated the firebrand populist and Eurosceptic George Simion. Indeed, Dan achieved a stunning reversal, after heavily losing the first round. But Simion still won more than five million votes, or around 46 percent, which highlighted a deep fracture in Romanian society.

Onze democratieën staan onder druk, meent het links aangehauchte deel van de westerse wereld. Bovendien zou democratie gewoon niet ‘werken' om de grote problemen van deze tijd, zoals klimaatverandering, aan te pakken. Is dat een vorm van verliezersmentaliteit nu rechtse populisten in het Westen terrein winnen, of zit er wat in? Politicoloog prof. dr. Menno Hurenkamp duidt de staat van onze democratie – die volgens hem pas écht in gevaar komt als de Jort Kelders van deze wereld te veel meebewegen met de populisten.
Chris Cuomo reacts to Donald Trump's decision to accept the use of a luxury jet from Qatar, calling it the clearest proof yet that Trump's populist image is a lie. He explains why this isn't just about optics or foreign influence—it's a symbol of how power protects itself, and how the very figure meant to “drain the swamp” is embracing the perks of the establishment. From presidential ethics loopholes to foreign access, Cuomo breaks down how this one gesture reveals everything about who benefits from the system, who gets left behind, and why outrage only flows in one direction depending on whose team you're on.

V rozhovoru s Davidem Navrátilem, hlavním ekonomem České spořitelny, byla hlavním tématem studie, která sledovala populistické vlády od roku 1900 do roku 2020 po celém světě. Studie porovnávala vývoj HDP během vládnutí populistů oproti obdobím nepopulistických vlád.Za populistických vlád kleslo HDP o 5–10 %, populistické vlády v průměru vládly dvakrát déle než nepopulistické a dopady poklesu HDP trvaly až patnáct let.Co způsobuje takový pokles? Proč populistické vlády nakonec nikdy nesplní, co slibovaly svým voličům? Proč se nejchudší lidé, kteří populisty přivedou k moci, mají na konci jejich vlád mnohem hůře?Probrali jsme tyto a mnoho dalších zajímavostí souvisejících s tématem populistických vlád a jejich dopadů na ekonomiku a prosperitu státu.

Populist narratives are gaining traction across the political spectrum, claiming that free markets have failed the American middle class. Critics argue that trade, immigration, and technological change have hollowed out manufacturing jobs and created an economy that no longer works for most Americans.In Crushing Capitalism: How Populist Policies Are Threatening the American Dream, economist Norbert J. Michel challenges this bleak interpretation. Drawing on historical data and contemporary analysis, Michel argues that the American Dream is not dead—but that it is being threatened by a growing push toward industrial policy, economic restrictions, and government intervention.Americans today enjoy unprecedented levels of prosperity, upward mobility, and opportunity. Rather than retreat from free-market principles, Michel makes the case for preserving the institutions and economic freedoms that have long fueled American success.Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with the author, and the Washington Post's Megan McArdle, as we explore the myths shaping today's economic debates, the real story behind the rise of American prosperity, and the risks of moving away from market-driven solutions.

This week I welcome Henry Olsen back to the podcast. Henry is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center—and has the distinction of being our first repeat guest on the show. We start our conversation on the continent. How has populism, both left and right, fared in Europe in the 21st century? Will the AfD continue its rise in German politics? What about Marine Le Pen and French populism? After a pitstop in Britain for a discussion of the latest challenges facing the Labour Party, we head stateside. Though he started with the wind at his back, is Trump going too far too fast? Are his unpopular actions going to break apart the populist energy in the United States? Who are the early frontrunners for the Democratic nomination in 2028? Join us for a great conversation on all things politics and populism.A transcript of this podcast is available on the post page on our website.

The leading presidential candidate in France is now ineligible to run for political office. Marine Le Pen was expected to come out on top in the French presidential elections, but she has now been found guilty of embezzlement and was sentenced to four years in prison. After the verdict was announced, she alleged the case was politically motivated, and critics pointed out that her case fits in with a broader pattern. Populist leaders around the world are facing similar legal attacks, and some allege these are part of a campaign to keep the new parties out of politics.

French right-wing populist Marine Le Pen has been suspended from political office for five years due to misappropriation of public funds. As a result, she cannot, as planned, take part in the 2027 presidential elections for her Rassemblement National (RN) party. The judge has also ruled that she will receive two years of house arrest. What consequences does this verdict have on French and her party, the RN? - Die französische Rechtspopulistin Marine Le Pen ist wegen Veruntreuung öffentlicher Gelder für fünf Jahre für politische Ämter gesperrt.

The authors of two new poetry collections aspire to reach broad audiences with their work. First, John Himmelman says he wanted to tell stories with as few words as possible. The Boy Who Lived in a Shell, a book of illustrated poems intended for children, is connected by a single narrator, Ivo, who lives in a giant moon snail shell. In today's episode, Himmelman speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about working at a New York library, writing to make himself laugh, and making poetry accessible to short attention spans. Then, lawyer, educator and author Reginald Dwayne Betts spent eight years in prison for a crime he committed at 16. While there, Betts began to write. His latest collection Doggerel plays with the idea of mediocre poetry and a recurring motif of dogs. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about his Jack Russell terrier, reading poetry to strangers, and an emotional encounter with the police.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
In 2018, Maxime Bernier left the Conservative Party to start the People's Party of Canada (PPC). The party took on that which almost none other would: the Covid lockdowns and mandates, gender identity ideology, climate change hysteria, DEI, authoritarian hate speech laws, and more.The PPC more closely resembles the populist, freedom-oriented option many Canadians are desperate for, in a sea of parties that often feel barely different from one another. Challenging the woke agenda, as well as mass immigration, has predictably led the party to be smeared as “racist” and “far right.” The party has even taken on the sacred cow that is the Canadian health care system, suggesting in its platform that Canada adopt a “mixed private-public” system to deal with the untenable wait times that have become the norm. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Bernier about about the tariff war, climate change alarmism, what it means to “stand with Ukraine,” why Poilievre appears be leaning into Liberal Light, what the Liberal Party is up to, and more.

Populist agendas of the Left and Right threaten to undermine fundamental principles that underpin liberal democracies. What can we do to reverse the trend ? Is it too late ?
In this episode, I'm bringing you the shocking story from Bucharest, where globalists have officially barred Romania's populist, anti-globalist candidate (what many are calling Romania's Trump) from running for president. I'll walk you through how the Romanian political establishment is silencing a major pro-Romania, pro-traditionalist voice by weaponizing the law and canceling elections, all in the name of "protecting democracy." As protests erupt in the streets, I'll explain why this is a blatant attempt to suppress a populist movement that's growing across Europe and how the global elites are using their power to maintain control. --Go to https://www.hometitlelock.com/turleytalks and use the promo code TURLEY250 to get the protection and peace of mind you deserve.*The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.

Pakistan is an enchanting country, fertile and vast, with a talented young population and, at least on paper, all of the ingredients of a regional powerhouse. But the country is experiencing a tumultuous time. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan languishes in prison while the country's military leaders use every greater coercion to maintain the status quo. Pakistan's economy is faltering, and the brain drain of qualified professionals continues to leave the country, devastatingly affecting public services and businesses. To help us understand the sheer predicament many Pakistanis feel, we have Professor SherAli Tereen, who recently returned from the country, to share with us his experience and understanding of the underlying power dynamics of the country. SherAli K. Tareen is the author of the award-winning books “Defending Muhammad in Modernity” (2020) and “Perilous Intimacies: Debating Hindu-Muslim Friendship after Empire” (2023) – he is currently a professor of religious studies at Franklin and Marshall CollegeThis Ramadan, support an alternative Muslim media platform rooted in faith, thought, and enlightened activism.
