The episode we are premiering during this Watch Party discusses how the Brexit campaign was heavily funded by Russian dark money, why Brexit even happened, and the importance of a United Europe in the face of an erratic Donald Trump.
The episode guests
- Roos Fransen is a Dutch researcher focusing on European and International Law at the University of Vienna. Her work spans a broad range, including the work of the European Union.
- Luke Cooper is an academic at the LSE and a co-host of the Another Europe podcast. His latest book, Authoritarian Contagion; the Global Threat to Democracy, situated the politics of Brexit and Trump in the global resurgence of far right nationalism.
