S2E2: Populism, Nationalism and the Rule of Law in Europe with Professor Carlo Ruzza

Brian J Matos

Brian is joined by Carlo Ruzza, Senior Professor of Political Sociology at the University of Trento School of International Studies, for a conversation on populism, nationalism, the rule of law and their interplay in the global political landscape. Carlo provides insights into the definitions and interpretations of these concepts and discusses how populist parties, especially across Europe, challenge the traditional understanding of the rule of law. Brian and Carlo also examine the rise of populist, nationalist leaders and the potential impact of their policies.
