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 Jonathan Katz, a senior fellow and director of Democracy Initiatives at the German Marshall Fund, The Cable provides analysis of latest developments with interviews and debates with prominent politicians, scholars and other experts.
