from The Greek Current · host Hellenic Leaders

2024 will see billions of people head to the polls, with a number of key elections - including in the US - on the horizon. This comes as we’ve also seen illiberal values and politicians who embrace them gain ground across the board.

William Antholis, the director and CEO of UVA’s Miller Center of Public Affairs, joins Thanos Davelis to look at these upcoming elections, with a focus on the US, and break down what’s at stake for the US and democracies around the world, including Greece.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:2024 brings wave of elections with global democracy on the ballotTrump Will Abandon NatoWhy John Bolton Is Certain Trump Really Wants to Blow Up NATOTrump’s NATO Threat Reflects a Wider Shift on America’s Place in the WorldGreece Becomes First Orthodox Country to Legalize Same-Sex MarriageGreece becomes first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex civil marriageEni drills second well at Cronos gas discovery off Cyprus
