The Nation State in a Digital Age

from In the Balance · host BBC World Service

Make America great again! It was President Trump's rallying cry on the campaign trail. And, his win and Brexit's victory at the polls tell us that nationalism is on the rise. But how does that sit with a global economy that is increasingly inter-connected? Every day a soaring amount of information and data crosses national boundaries. So where does that leave the nation state? We hear from both sides of the Atlantic. Manuela Saragosa is joined by guests Joshua Cooper Ramo, co-CEO of Kissinger Associates; Victoria Nash, deputy director of the Oxford Internet Institute; Lawrence Wintermeyer, CEO of Innovate Finance and Ryan Bourne, chair in public understanding of economics at the Cato Institute in Washington.(Photo: US President Donald Trump signs an executive order to start the Mexico border wall project, January 2017.
