Unpopular Government: How Populism is Reshaping Politics & Trade

Fri, October 28, 2016
Other
Honorable David Dreier ’75 and Honorable Mickey Kantor

The Dreier Roundtable's third annual conference focuses on the rising tides of populism, both in the United States and abroad and will feature a lunchtime discussion between David Dreier ’75 and Mickey Kantor, former U.S. Commerce Secretary, U.S. Trade Representative, and chair of the 1992 Clinton/Gore campaign.

The US presidential election has challenged many assumptions about the Constitution, the political process, and has shaken the foundations of the two leading political parties. The aftershocks of the Brexit vote are still being felt in Europe, and France is headed into a legislative and presidential election likely to be shaped by populist discontent over immigration and defense. On both continents, economic populism is turning public opinion away from free trade and globalism and toward nationalism and isolation.

The 2016 Dreier Roundtable will bring together public policy leaders and researchers from around the world to discuss how unpopular politics will affect the future of elections and trade.
