How do we survive the era of the authoritarian strongman leader? Why do these men hold a monopoly on political power? And what are the alternatives to their rule? Journalists Anshel Pfeffer (Haaretz, Economist), Ece Temelkuran (Der Spiegel, Guardian), and Shaun Walker (Guardian) have written extensively about Benjamin Netanyahu, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Vladimir Putin, respectively, and they arrive equipped to illuminate what lasting impact all three will have on Europe and the world. Chaired by Halla Mohieddeen.
