Welcome to The Cable!
Co-produced by the Institute of Current World Affairs and the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group, we address threats to democracy in Europe and the transatlantic relationship, with a particular focus on backsliding countries in Central Europe. Tune in for information about developments in Europe at a time when traditional channels are becoming less reliable; crucial, deep social, political and historical context; and important lessons for re-energizing the democratization movement.
Hosted in Washington by journalist and ICWA executive director Gregory Feifer, and TDWG director and German Marshall Fund senior fellow Susan Corke, The Cable provides analysis of latest developments with interviews and debates with prominent politicians, scholars and other experts.
