A talk by Igor Lukes, Boston University

The electoral victory of Donald Trump in 2016 surprised everyone, including the winner, the vanquished, and all the specialists. Even today, almost four years later, bitterly divided citizens struggle to understand what happened.   The talk seeks to cast light on several lesser-known factors behind Trump’s victory four years ago and it endorses the view that the warning lights are blinking red again.   Moderated by Christopher Harwood  In cooperation with Harriman Institute at Columbia University Please register to receive a ZOOM link HERE.
