Lasse Skytt Discusses Orbánland

Join us in March as we explore the inner workings of Orbánland, with Lasse Skytt's new account of that same name. This remarkable journalist’s personal account examines why one small European nation’s path away from liberal democracy carries vital lessons for us all. An unusually well-balanced, objective account that includes extensive interviews with leading figures from across the political spectrum. Skytt will be in conversation with Tomek Jankowski.
