ICFRC: Authoritarianism and Christian Nationalism

Since 2010, Viktor Orban has consolidated power as prime minister of Hungary, a central European country whose democratic institutions he has weakened primarily through a form of governance he terms "illiberal democracy" as well as through the nationwide advancement of Christian nationalism. Iowa City Foreign Relations Council Executive Director Peter Gerlach talks with guest Ben Novak, a former reporter for the New York Times (2018-2022) who was based in Budapest, Hungary, and a research affiliate at the Central European University Democracy Institute. They discuss the intersections of modern Hungarian politics and religion, how the people there are impacted by Orban's autocratic policies, and why some here in America view Orban's leadership as a model for the United States in 2025 and beyond.The Iowa City Foreign Relations Council presents this event as part of its Democracy Series.

ICFRC: South African Democracy - Lessons from 30 Years

Expectations for democracy in South Africa have been shaped by a longer history of citizenship linked to white supremacy. The concept of relational citizenship is an important way of thinking about political belonging which requires reflection on the different kind of political imagination people in places like South Africa have who have experienced sustained oppression and how we might learn from it in the United States.Presented by Brady G'sell, Ph.D., and Thuto Thipe, Ph.D., and hosted by Sunday Goshit.For more information about the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council, visit icfrc.org.

ICFRC: Manufacturing Consent - The Failure of EU Elections, Media, and the Public Sphere

Europe still lacks a "European" public sphere and a media system that serves it. As was the case during the 2019 EU parliamentary election, the 2024 contest exhibited regional differences in the themes covered by national media and their emphasis on European-wide issues. Most voters' choices of representative MPEs reflected national politics and perceived interests, and relatedly, the ideological divides that positively or negatively assessed European-wide problems. The dominant reliance on social media for news contributed both to reinforcing and enhancing the existing political and ideological polarization in most EU member nations. As such, unevenly across the continent, they also further splintered the national public spheres, diminishing the prospects of "manufacturing of consent" on several issues important to the European Union.Peter Gross is professor emeritus and former Director of the University of Tennessee's School of Journalism and Electronic Media (2006-2016). His research focus is East and Central Europe society, media and journalism.For more information about the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council, visit icfrc.org.

ICFRC: Russia and Ukraine - Entangled Histories, Diverging States

The root of the Russo-Ukrainian War is not geopolitical competition, but the multifaceted divergence between Ukraine and Russia over the past 30 years. In February 2022, Russian missiles rained on Ukrainian cities, and tanks rolled towards Kyiv to end Ukrainian independent statehood. What are the roots of this war, which has upended the international legal order and brought back the specter of nuclear escalation? How did these supposedly "brotherly peoples" become each other's worst nightmare?Maria Popova is an Associate Professor of Political Science at McGill University, Scientific Director of the Jean Monnet Centre Montreal, and Editor of the Cambridge Elements Series on Politics and Society from Central Europe to Central Asia.
