How to Have Politics Without Politicians

Democracy is in trouble. Several rankings show that the world is in a “democratic recession.” Polls show that ordinary citizens are losing faith in their governments. Is there a fix?

Hélène Landemore has a radical solution: Get rid of politicians and electoral politics. And instead, create assemblies of ordinary citizens. The Yale professor makes the case for this in her new book, Politics Without Politicians. Landemore joined FP Live to explore this concept and where it might—and might not—work.

How Bad Could the Global Energy Shock Get?

Energy prices have shot up following an Iranian strike on a crucial gas field in Qatar, in addition to Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iranian oil infrastructure and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. How high could energy prices get, and for how long? Even if the war ends, what would it take for normal service to resume and the global energy shock to subside? Jason Bordoff, the founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy, will join FP Live to explore the dynamics shaping the energy markets.

  • Is Trump’s War in Iran Justified? A Debate.

    As conflict in the Middle East escalates, it’s worth airing out a polarizing question: Was the Trump administration justified in attacking Iran? Critics argue the move is illegal, sets a bad precedent on sovereignty, is counterproductive, and has thrust the region into instability. But supporters of Trump’s move say the Islamic Republic had become a regional menace, was nearing a nuclear threshold, and was brutally suppressing its own people. Trita Parsi and Matthew Kroenig joined FP Live for a debate.

  • How the U.S. Might Attack Iran

    The Trump administration is warning of “steep consequences” if ongoing negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program fail.

But what are those options, and how feasible are they?

    Retired Gen. David Petraeus, who commanded U.S. forces in the Middle East during the Iraq War, sat down with FP’s Ravi Agrawal to assess U.S. options in Iran and how Tehran might respond.
