Nationalism and far-right movements are rising around the world. Some see this as a direct backlash against globalism and globalisation which critics say has not delivered for ordinary people.

What is really going on? How can people respond to these new divisions? How have digital technologies - social media, big data, and tools for mass communication - shaped this new state of affairs?

Join us at Politics Summit 2019: Globalism vs Nationalism in the Digital Age to discuss these issues with fellow citizens and leaders in government, business, tech, civil society, academia, and the media.

The agenda will be a mix of keynote speeches, panel discussions, networking sessions, and entertaining performances. Full details, including the speaker line-up, will be shared over the next few weeks.
