New, improved Demos podcasting.

J-Cast

Posted by Peter Bradwell at 10:36pm on Monday, 6th November 2006



Just prior to his talk here last Thursday, Ian Bremmer discussed nations, states, openness and J-Curves with Catherine. It was a topical, wide-ranging and fascinating chat. Luckily, we had the tape-recorder firing and you can listen in with the streaming audio, by downloading the mp3 here, or subscribing to our podcast by following this link. It's the sixth of our podcasts.

What is the J-Curve? While some states remain stable because their governments isolate their citizens, both from the outside world and from one another, other states are stable because their political, economic, and social institutions are fuelled by globalization and thrive on change. Here, Ian's answer takes us from Russia, the US, and the UK to Iran, North Korea and the EU.
