Historian Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic Magazine / Johns Hopkins University, reveals the aggressive tactics behind an international autocratic alliance and shows how it is undermining our democracy.

Best Of: Anne Applebaum On Her Book Autocracy Inc.
In this Thanksgiving Best Of, we revisit our conversation with our friend Anne Applebaum! We aired this a few months ago when Anne's newest book, Autocracy Inc., had been released. She chronicles the rise of authoritarianism around the world and how those autocracies work together to keep themselves in power. With Donald Trump elected President once again, could we be heading for a similar fate? Other countries thwarted authoritarian candidates over the last year, but America decided that another round of Trumpism was the way to go. We can only hope that the country can survive it.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaqcvH8EvUtePORpN03jLMg/join
In the 20th century most autocrats were brutal dictators whose main goal was to control a domestic population. But in the 21st century autocracy has become much more sophisticated and ambitious in its scope. States like Russia have developed sophisticated cross-border networks of kleptocratic financial structures, innovative security services and professional propagandists. The members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled companies in one dictatorship aim to do business with corrupt, state-controlled companies in another. The poli...

Autocracy, Inc: Anne Applebaum and Ruth Ben-Ghiat in Conversation
Join Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author Anne Applebaum in conversation with historian and MSNBC opinion columnist Ruth Ben-Ghiat on the recent alarming rise of dictatorships across the world — and her new book, Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World.
Well-known to readers as an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities and staff writer for The Atlantic, Anne Appelbaum’s new book is an illuminating combination of reportorial exposé and history showing how modern dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are changing the rules of global politics to thwart economic sanctions and crush protest movements at home and abroad with near impunity. It is an urgent warning call to democracies the world over — including the US, ahead of the 2024 election...

Are We Living in a Different America?
In the last few months of his campaign, Trump was free and open with his dictatorial impulses, as he talked about punishing “enemies from within.” Now that he’s won, have we crossed the line into a different kind of country?
Staff writers Anne Applebaum and McKay Coppins help us learn how to find the line. Does this resounding win mean the electorate gave Trump a mandate to act on all his impulses? Will he make good on his campaign threats? And how will we know?

Anne Applebaum on the dictators who want to run the world | Tortoise ThinkIn
Anne Applebaum has been tracking the slide away from democracy for decades. But, she says, what is happening right now is unprecedented.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and journalist joined us in the Tortoise to discuss her latest book, Autocracy, Inc., which delves into the intricate and novel webs of modern authoritarian regimes, from Russia, to China, Iran, Venezuela and North Korea. She exposes how autocrats are collaborating across borders to undermine democratic institutions, and shines a spotlight on the the kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies and professional propagandists that make it all possible.

Trump Kicks Down the Guardrails
I’ve been watching since the election to see what timeline we’re in. And Donald Trump’s first wave of selections for appointees were pretty straightforward. But then came the turn: Pete Hegseth, a former “Fox & Friends” host, to helm the Pentagon; Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence; and the real gut-punch, the former representative Matt Gaetz for attorney general.
In the parts of government that can be weaponized most dangerously — the military, the intelligence services, the Department of Justice — Trump is putting true lackeys and loyalists in charge. I fear we’ve entered the bad timeline.

Regimes Around the World Are Starting to TEAM UP (w/ Anne Applebaum) | Shield of the Republic
Eric and Eliot welcome back Anne Applebaum, Pultizer and Duff Cooper Prize Winning author of Gulag and Red Famine and currently staff writer with The Atlantic and senior fellow at the Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. They discuss Anne's new book Autocracy Inc: The Dictators who Want to Run the World. They examine the threat that autocratic regimes represent to their own citizens at home and to liberal democracy abroad, the West's slowness to recognize the threat that the authoritarians represent, the excessive optimism that (after the end of the Cold War and with the advent of globalization) liberal democratic ideals would triumph without recognizing the danger that authoritarian, illiberal ideas might flow into democracies, whether or n...

The Liberal World Order is OVER. Here’s Why | Aaron Bastani meets Anne Applebaum
Political scientists agree that we are now living in a multi-polar world. How we might have arrived at this new formation and whether the newly powerful actors on the global stage are inherently problematic, remain areas of much disagreement.
Someone who has a distinct perspective on this new world order is this week’s guest, Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author.
She sat down with Aaron to discuss Putin’s rise to power, misinformation and whether Israel fits into this collection of states who share little but a desire to consolidate each other's autocracy.

But in the 21st century autocracy has become much more sophisticated and ambitious in its scope. States like Russia have developed sophisticated cross-border networks of kleptocratic financial structures, innovative security services and professional propagandists. The members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled companies in one dictatorship aim to do business with corrupt, state-controlled companies in another. The police in one country can arm, equip, and train the police in another. Propagandists from one country can promote and finance extremists and propaganda in another — pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of the West.
In September 2024 Anne Applebaum came to Intelligence Squared to provide a radical new framework for understanding autocracy in the 21st century. Applebaum argued that autocracies today are best viewed like an agglomeration of companies or what she calls Autocracy, Inc. Their relations are not based on values, but are rather transactional, which is why they operate so easily across ideological, geographical, and cultural lines. In truth, they are in full agreement about only one thing: The destruction of democratic challengers.
Applebaum was in conversation with BBC broadcaster Jonny Dymond to discuss how to understand and thwart this new evolved form of autocracy.

Regimes Around the World Are Starting to TEAM UP (w/ Anne Applebaum) | Shield of the Republic

Eric and Eliot welcome back Anne Applebaum, Pultizer and Duff Cooper Prize Winning author of Gulag and Red Famine and currently staff writer with The Atlantic and senior fellow at the Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. They discuss Anne's new book Autocracy Inc: The Dictators who Want to Run the World. They examine the threat that autocratic regimes represent to their own citizens at home and to liberal democracy abroad, the West's slowness to recognize the threat that the authoritarians represent, the excessive optimism that (after the end of the Cold War and with the advent of globalization) liberal democratic ideals would triumph without recognizing the danger that authoritarian, illiberal ideas might flow into democracies, whether or not the authoritarians think they are winning and how they measure success, Russia's role in prompting much of the authoritarian offensive and the role of western institutions in facilitating the emergence of Russia as a personalist, authoritarian mafia state, the weaknesses of the authoritarians and how the western democracies might go on the offensive against the political warfare being waged daily by the authoritarians against the democracies, and the effort to obliterate truth and promote hopelessness and cynicism in citizens in democracies and setting them against one another.

Political scientists agree that we are now living in a multi-polar world. How we might have arrived at this new formation and whether the newly powerful actors on the global stage are inherently problematic, remain areas of much disagreement.
Someone who has a distinct perspective on this new world order is this week’s guest, Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author.
She sat down with Aaron to discuss Putin’s rise to power, misinformation and whether Israel fits into this collection of states who share little but a desire to consolidate each other's autocracy.
