Daron Acemoglu, Economist: Liberal democracy is in crisis

BBC Newsnight presenter Paddy O’Connell speaks to Nobel Prize-winning economist Daron Acemoglu about why he thinks liberal democracy is in crisis, and how artificial intelligence could make it worse. Daron argues that liberal democracy worked because people were given a say in how they were governed and then benefited from their country’s economy as it prospered. But western governments have made major decisions on issues like immigration without first building public agreement, something which was once important. In an interview with BBC Newsnight, he says that together, these changes have left many working people feeling that politicians no longer listen to them and have helped to fuel a rise in populism. Now Daron warns that the way artificial intelligence is developed and used, so far without consensus, could make it worse, by widening inequality and putting people out of work. “AI is going to transform every aspect of our lives, and we're not being asked. We have no say in how AI is going to shape our society. I mean people in the UK, people in the US. Even worse for 6 billion people who are outside of the US, UK, China. Their lives are going to be completely reshaped by AI and they have zero say whatsoever,” he says. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world. The best interviews from the BBC, including episodes with Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk, South African minister Gayton McKenzie and New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman. You can listen on the BBC World Service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 0800 GMT.

Avoiding War in the South China Sea

Ten years after an international tribunal found the vast majority of China’s claims in the South China Sea to be unlawful, the risk of conflict in this vital global throughway remains stubbornly high. This week on Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Greg Poling, Director and Senior Fellow of the CSIS Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative and Southeast Asia Program, for a wide-ranging discussion on China’s strategy, successes, and failures in the South China Sea. They examine the evolving nature of China’s maritime claims, why Beijing cares so much about small rocks in the middle of the ocean, and why the South China Sea has become a major flashpoint in U.S.-China relations. To learn more about the South China Sea, you can read Greg’s book On Dangerous Ground: America’s Century in the South China Sea. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/on-dangerous-ground-9780197633984

EP20 #SembangKS | Episod Istimewa yang ke-20

Sembang KS dah sampai Episod 20! 🎉 Kali ini kita sembang macam-macam isu — daripada isu Tabung Haji dan sentimen kaum, kontroversi bendera Jalur Gemilang, hinggalah kepada pendirian Malaysia terhadap China dan Taiwan. 🇲🇾 Kita turut borak tentang pasukan Malayan Tigress B-16 yang mencuri perhatian di Piala Srikandi Merdeka, termasuk aksi luar biasa Lim You yang menjaringkan tujuh gol dalam satu perlawanan. 💍 Tak ketinggalan, berita hangat mengenai perkahwinan Syed Saddiq dan Bella Astillah yang bakal berlangsung pada 10 Oktober 2026. 🔥 Tapi untuk episod kali ini, kita buat kupasan terperinci terhadap satu isu yang sudah berdekad-dekad menjadi perdebatan — AUKU (Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti 1971). Kenapa AUKU diwujudkan? Kenapa ia menjadi kontroversi dalam kalangan mahasiswa? Adakah pemansuhan AUKU benar-benar akan memberikan kebebasan kepada mahasiswa? Dan yang lebih penting — apa yang akan menggantikan AUKU? Kita turut melihat sejarah gerakan mahasiswa, hujah pihak yang mempertahankan AUKU, isu kebebasan akademik, kuasa pentadbiran universiti serta persoalan sama ada pemansuhan AUKU sahaja sudah cukup untuk mereformasikan institusi pengajian tinggi Malaysia. Sebab kalau sekadar tukar nama akta, tapi kuasa dan sistem yang sama masih kekal… betul ke itu reformasi? Jangan lupa LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE kepada Keluar Sekejap untuk episod-episod Sembang KS yang seterusnya. 🔔 #SembangKS #KeluarSekejap #AUKU #SyedSaddiq #BellaAstillah #TabungHaji #JalurGemilang #Malaysia #KebebasanAkademik #Mahasiswa #PolitikMalaysia

Great Power Diplomacy: How to Prevent a Third World War

In this episode, Tobias Ellwood sets out why he believes we are drifting towards global conflict, and what can still be done to stop it. The order that has held since 1945 is coming apart. War in Ukraine, confrontation between the US and Iran, unresolved conflict in the Middle East and an intensifying rivalry between Washington and Beijing have produced the most dangerous strategic environment in a generation. Recorded during a live RUSI members webinar on 19 August 2026, this special episode features RUSI Distinguished Fellow, The Rt Hon Tobias Ellwood, discussing his new book: Ten Steps to Prevent World War Three. The webinar was chaired by RUSI Senior Associate Fellow Professor Beatrice Heuser with an audience Q&A. Key themes discussed are: How the West arrived at this point, and why the rules-based order has broken down. Where the risks of escalation are greatest, and how much of it would be deliberate rather than accidental. What grey zone warfare means for deterrence and Western defence planning. How artificial intelligence and computing will shape the speed and character of future conflict. The full recording is available to RUSI members on the Institute's website, where you can also sign up if you are not currently a member.

The League of Nations and International Law

Editors Karin van Leeuwen and Morten Rasmussen explain how their Cambridge Handbook uses deep archival research across dozens of collections and brings together international contributors to reveal how the League of Nations used legal techniques, institutions, and networks to shape an incipient form of global governance. The episode highlights key findings — the League’s legal section and court experiments, tensions between sovereign equality and imperial hierarchies, and case studies like Upper Silesia and the Manchurian crisis — and argues the handbook reframes the League as central to the development of international law and institutions, while noting the limits of ‘‘peace through law".

The One Thing That Could Decide If AI Takes Your Job - Ft. Luis Garicano

AI is coming for your job; AI isn't coming for your job. Economist Luis Garicano thinks both camps are asking the wrong question. In Messy Jobs: The Work That AI Cannot Reach, Garicano and co-authors Jin Li and Yanhui Wu argue that all knowledge work varies along a dimension of “messiness”, and that the jobs which survive won't be the ones that are hardest, but the messiest. Bethany McLean and Luigi Zingales press Garicano on where that framework holds and where it breaks.

The U.S. is in the Hole. Will We Stop Digging?

(Originally aired June 10, 2025) The national debt is $36 trillion. That could be a panic-inducing big number. So maybe it will help to understand how we ran up that debt. We've blown 37% of it on tax cuts, with precious little to show for that. But 28% went to stabilize the economy during two major crises (in ‘08-’09 and during the COVID pandemic), which is when you do want the federal government to pull out its credit card. Good news is we don’t have to get the debt to zero. We just need to get it moving in that direction. And for listeners waiting for MMT (Modern Monetary Theory) to make a cameo, that moment has arrived.
