The Anti-Establishment Revolt

BBC World Service - The Real Story, The Anti-Establishment Revolt

Is politics changing - and should we embrace it?

Is politics changing - and should we embrace it? A special edition of the programme recorded at the Cambridge Festival of Ideas.

Across the world we’re seeing the rise of a new kind of popular politics. The old established order is under threat and voters are turning to politicians who offer bold promises for a fresh start. Should we embrace these politicians as charismatic visionaries or deceitful populists manipulating truth in their desire for personal power? Owen Bennett Jones is joined by an expert panel for this special edition of the programme recorded at the Cambridge Festival of Ideas.
