Democracy VS The people? | Anand Menon | TEDxGlasgow
TEDxGlasgow 2019 Principal Partner #SCOTLANDISNOW'
Are democracies rigged?
From mass demonstrations in France to Brexit in Britain, and the election of Trump in the US, peoples’ anger over the current state of democracy is fuelling protest and anti-establishment movements around the world.
Anand Menon, a professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs, cuts through the nonsense to deliver a much-needed analysis of democracy today – and urges those at the helm of politics to take citizen’s grievances seriously. Warning that, if they don’t, we’re heading towards a future of political uncertainty and instability.
Anand is Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs at King’s College
London. He directs the Economic and Social Research Council Initiative, the UK in a
Changing Europe (www.ukandeu.ac.uk).
As well as holding positions at Sciences Po, Columbia University and NYU, he has written on many aspects of contemporary Europe and is co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of the European Union (OUP, 2012). He is also co-author of Brexit and British Politics (Polity, 2017) and author of Europe: The State of the Union (Atlantic Books 2008).
Anand has written for the Financial Times, Prospect, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Times and Le Monde. He is also a frequent commentator on national and international broadcast media and has made several radio documentaries on contemporary politics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
