    Russian Repercussion: how effective has Moscow been in influencing world events?

    Recent events in Georgia and Romania have exposed, once again, the influence that Russia still exerts on the world. But while it's clear that Moscow wants Russia to be a major player on the world stage (once again), it's not entirely apparent how it expects to operate in this multipolar world. Are other superpowers willing to let Vladimir Putin meddle in democracy or will interference – as is the case in Romania – lead to the disintegration of confidence in the popular vote? Emily Tamkin, Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat discuss.

    K-Popped: how did South Korea descend into crisis?

    Overnight on Tuesday, South Korea descended into crisis. President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, which opposition leaders called "insurrection". Within a day, the threat of martial law was over, but President Yoon is now facing impeachment. How did things go so wrong, so quickly? Joining Emily Tamkin and Rohan Venkat is Steven Denney, a professor of Korean Studies at Leiden University. They discuss the situation on the Asian peninsula, as well as parallels around the world.

    Big Farmer: how is the farming lobby impacting politics in India and the UK?

    In the UK, Rachel Reeves' first budget has led to significant unhappiness within the farming community, with thousands of farmers (and supporters like Jeremy Clarkson) marching on Downing Street. Is this just a matter of tax fairness or is Reeves jeopardising food security in an already precarious industry? Tom Hamilton gives the view from London and, with Emily Tamkin away for Thanksgiving, Rohan Venkat probes the situation and discusses how India has a long history of farmers proving an influential political caucus.

    Undue Process: are international governments ignoring the courts?

    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?

    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?

    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.
