In this bonus episode we bring you a recording of a roundtable from the 2018 Chatham House London Conference. This annual event brings together policy-makers, academics and business figures from around the world to London to discuss key global issues.

Undercurrents hosted a breakfast roundtable as part of the conference, focusing on how elites can re-engage with their publics. A panel of experts from six different countries joined Ben and Agnes to share their views on questions including:

  • Is political participation in decline?
  • Are traditional forms of politics outdated?
  • What impact has the digital revolution had on the political sphere? 
  • How can politicians reconnect with their voters?
