Autocracy, Inc: with Anne Applebaum

In the 20th century most autocrats were brutal dictators whose main goal was to control a domestic population. But in the 21st century autocracy has become much more sophisticated and ambitious in its scope. Having reported on different forms of authoritarian power over the past three decades, from the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe to the threat of 21st-century disinformation, Pulitzer-Prize winning author Anne Applebaum is a leading authority on autocracy. Join us for an alarming account of the rise of the autocrats, how they work together to undermine the democratic world, and how we should organise to defeat them.

The conversation will be followed by a live Q & A.
