Listen "Kneecap, Eurovision and the rise of authoritarianism! "
Episode Synopsis
As a terror charge against Kneecap's Mo Chara is dropped by a London court, David and Evelyn discuss the case and the decision by Eurovision organisers to hold a vote amongst EBU members on whether Israel should be allowed participate in next year's competition. Later, the duo are joined by Associate Professor of Politics in UCD, Alex Dukalskis who has co-written a book entitled 'Dictating the Agenda: The Authoritarian Resurgence in World Politics'. Alex believes the policies of President Trump are actually helping authoritarian regimes - while the west’s attempt to draw China into the global economic system has had the opposite effect.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
