SUMMARY:GREAT DECISIONS : The Rise of Populism in Europe
DESCRIPTION:The Rise of Populism in Europe  \nBy James Kirchick \nMass migration and the problems associated with it have directly abetted the rise of populist parties in Europe. Opposition to immigration was the prime driver of support for Brexit\, it brought a far-right party to the German Bundestag for the first time since the 1950s\, and propelled Marine Le Pen to win a third of the vote in the French presidential election. In addition to calling for stronger borders\, however\, these parties are invariably illiberal\, anti-American\, anti-NATO and pro-Kremlin\, making their rise a matter of serious concern for the national security interests of the United States. \nThis program will be held in the Chapel at St. John’s UU Church\, 320 Resor Ave.\, Clifton\, from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. Brown bag lunches are welcome to be eaten while we watch the DVD together before the discussion. \nIf you did not purchase a briefing book in the fall and would like to do the same background reading as many others in the group\, you can order one from the Foreign Policy Association\, www.fpa.org. If not\, try to do some research on the topic before coming.  No registration is necessary.
