Tune in to get the full scoop of the students’ POV on a year of decisive elections! In this episode two IEE-ULB master students - Daniele Bogani and Felix Fend - host a roundtable discussion with two IEE-ULB Alumni - Marta Volpe and Javier Bardón - delving deep into what to expect this year. In 2024, over half of the world's population will head to the polls. Among them are both the citizens of the EU and the USA, with established liberal democratic practices and principles challenged on either side of the Atlantic. Politics on both sides face more and more attacks, both internal and external, by increasingly popular authoritarian forces. Such challenging prospects for the coming year see the episode's discussants explore why is the concept of liberal democracy so offensive to authoritarian forces. Question what can we expect from the European Parliament Elections in June? And consider what a second Trump presidency might mean for the EU and the international liberal order?----------------------------------"Talking with EU, the student’s POV" is the first student-run podcast at the Institut d’Études Européennes (IEE) of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), where the students' point of view is at the centre.
