In this exclusive interview, dr Małgorzata Bonikowska, CEO of Centre for International Relation, speaks with Dr. Ibrahim Öztürk, an economist at the University of Duisburg-Essen, whose research focuses on populism and global development models. Drawing on decades of expertise, Dr. Öztürk offers a sharp, international perspective on the forces challenging democratic resilience – and what might come next.
This interview complements the latest Warsaw Debate episode, where co-hosts Grzegorz Nawrocki and Małgorzata Bonikowska moderate a panel on the provocative motion: “Democracy is doomed.”
