‘Best of’: Lessons Learned

In this bonus episode, we look back at the interviews of the series so far, drawing out headline lessons for citizens, governments or other bodies in Europe and beyond.

Section 1 defines the shapes and patterns of illiberalism, via case studies on Central Europe from across the episodes.

Section 2 pulls together headline 'lessons' on how to fight back, starting at 32 min.

These are:

1. Be alert to emotion trumping fact;

2. Make science easier to access;

3. Education as illiberal attack / liberal defence;

4. Defend free speech;

5. Uncover the agenda;

6. Be wary of "mission creep";

7. Fight fire with light;

8. Persuasion vs. coercion.
