It's the SEASON FINALE!!
Join Ben and Agnes for the final episode of Undercurrents in 2018. This week they speak to Robin Niblett, Director of Chatham House, about his recent work on the future of think tanks in the new uncertain political landscape. Up for discussion:
- How think tanks should respond to the rise of populist politics
- Whether think tanks have spent too long defending globalisation
- How think tanks can re-engage the public in a time of declining trust in experts
All this and more - we hope you enjoy the episode.
