Nearly three-quarters of the world’s population now lives under some form of authoritarian rule. As illiberal leaders continue to gain power, often through democratic elections, the question looms large: is democracy in decline? We are witnessing a pivotal moment in living history, where far-right movements are capturing hearts and minds of voters, reshaping political landscapes across the globe. For an in-depth exploration of this seismic shift, FRANCE 24’s Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Dr. Sarah Stein Lubrano, researcher at Oxford University and author of the newly released, thought-provoking book Don’t Talk About Politics, which unpacks the science, psychology and politics behind our political behaviours.
