The world is increasingly influenced by the growth of the radical right and populism. Conservative leaders are attracting a significant number of voters, including many young people. How can this be explained? And where did liberalism fail? Tonight, we delve into these questions in a one-on-one interview with writer, essayist, politician, and modern thinker Michael Ignatieff.
Michael Ignatieff is a Canadian intellectual, writer, and politician. He has a wide-ranging career in academia, journalism, and public service, served as the rector of Central European University and taught at Harvard. He is the biographer of Isaiah Berlin, the foremost philosopher of the 20th century. Ignatieff has written extensively on history, human rights, and political theory. Ignatieff also led the Liberal Party of Canada from 2008 to 2011. He is widely regarded as a key thinker on nationalism, democracy, and international relations.
In 2018, Michael Ignatieff, the rector of Central European University, announced that the university would relocate to Vienna.
