Exploring European Conservatism

Just listen to Republican candidates for president of the U.S., and you have a pretty good idea of what modern, American conservatism is all about: lower taxes, gun rights, and smaller government, to name a few notions.

But in Europe, where political, social, and economic climates are much different, what does the political right look like? 

This hour, we speak with some experts about conservatism in Europe.

GUESTS: 

  • David Cameron - Professor of Political Science and Director of European Union Studies at Yale University 
  • Art Goldhammer - Writer and translator based at the Center for European Studies at Harvard
  •  Mary Burke - Professor of Irish Literature at UCONN

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Catie Talarski is Senior Director of Storytelling and Radio Programming at Connecticut Public.
