[EN INGLÉS] SURVEY OF EUROPOLITICS: a deep dialogue w/Austrian political scientist Natascha Strobl, author of "Radicalised Conservatism / Radikalisierter Konservatismus"

Finalmente & finally, we are kicking off Season 3 of Contraelite! Some content is a little outdated, please listen to our opening message. 

As always, so fortunate to have excellent and insightful guests, this time is no exception. We dive deep into the interesting dynamics of Austrian, and to an extent overall European, politics with Natascha Strobl, an Austrian political scientist, expert on right-wing extremism and the New Right. She is the author of the newly released book, Radicalised Conservatism / Radikalisierter Konservatismus, a study into the "hard right agenda [being] pushed through by stoking a constant mood of anxiety towards a vague 'other'" (Irish Times). 

The lead-up to the eventual exit of Sebastian Kurz, labor shortages & workers issues, women's issues and feminism, the Peruvian elections in 2021, as well as a bit of friendly banter on the 2021 Euro Cup, this episode covers it all and then some.
