Global authoritarianism: how to spot it and how to stop it

The rise of authoritarian movements around the world presents an accelerating illiberal trend in international affairs. Rapidly modernising China and India are at the vanguard of this phenomenon. And as other major world powers also adopt such values, authoritarianism is now being normalised across the world.

Join Dr Chris Ogden as he asks: does the rise of these movements signal the demise of Western democracy and the dawn of an authoritarian era in world politics? And if so, what can we do to counter it?
