Today’s world is in unprecedented flux. Rights and citizenship are under assault. Authoritarianism is on the rise. No single country can dictate the rules. The Middle East lies at the cutting edge of the crises of our age, with every world power, including the United States, deeply involved. Host Thanassis Cambanis interviews activists, researchers, and decision-makers about the problems of our time, and possible solutions. This podcast is produced by Century International. Our research focuses on the human impact of global policy. We are independent, critical, and progressive. Find our work at https://tcf.org/topics/century-international/.

The challenge to American democracy has called into question some of the country’s deepest assumptions about exceptionalism. Fellows at The Century Foundation have been studying fragile democracy, authoritarianism, and militia rule in the Middle East for decades.
We apply some of the lessons learned from studying authoritarian relapse around the world—from the importance of calling a coup attempt by its proper name, to the limits of the “war on terror” model for dealing with violent insurrectionists and white supremacist terrorism in the United States.
Participants include:
- Michael Wahid Hanna, senior fellow, The Century Foundation
- Thanassis Cambanis, senior fellow, The Century Foundation
