  • Undue Process: are international governments ignoring the courts?
    Nov 21 2024

    In India, the Supreme Court ruled that "bulldozer justice" is illegal – forcing the BJP to come to terms with a flailing justice system. But it's not just India that is struggling with the question of due process: in the US, following the re-election of Donald Trump, people are gearing up for the controversial ignition of a mass deportation programme, and in the UK the courts system continues to struggle with horrific backlogs. As ever, Rohan Venkat, Tom Hamilton and Emily Tamkin discuss.

  • Re-election Revelations: what can Modi's reinvention teach ups about Trump 2.0?
    Nov 13 2024

    Politicians and political movements are constantly reinventing themselves, and few have done it as effectively as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In 2019, Modi's BJP came to power with more hard-line, anti-minority rhetoric, which, in some ways, mirrors the campaign run by Donald Trump in returning to the White House. Emily Tamkin and Rohan Venkat discuss how these two leaders have managed the process of evolving their messaging and delivering triumphant restorations.

  • The Shock Heard Around the World: how did Donald Trump win back the White House?
    Nov 8 2024

    Donald Trump will be the next US President. From Washington, Emily Tamkin reflects on an election that felt like a shock to the system – even if the result is not wildly different to what we anticipated at the start of the year. So, what happened? And where did the Democrats' campaign to prevent Trump 2.0 go astray? From Cairo and London, Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton give the international perspective on how Trump's return will impact geopolitics and macroeconomics, not to mention the fragile state of democracies.
