Episode Details

What explains the rise of the AfD in Germany, and why has it sent German and European elites into such a meltdown? Does the party represent a genuine alternative to Germany's political consensus, or should we look also to other forces in Germany for new ideas?

For this episode, Jacob Reynolds is joined by Sabine Beppler-Spahl chair of the Berlin based liberal think tank Freiblickinstitut and Germany correspondent for Spiked, and also by MCC Brussels' research fellow Richard Schenk.
