The City Politics Podcast Episode 8 - National Solutions to Global Problems?

On February 14, snow began to fall on the state of Texas in the southern United States. As the winter storm hit, the demand for electricity rose causing the state’s power grid to fail. As Texans struggled to stay warm, many blamed decades of deregulation and a lack of investment in public infrastructure. After decades of retreat, the emerging climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to calls across the world for a more interventionist state. Today we will give you the City View on whether there are national solutions to global problems. Our guests are Anastasia Nesvetailova, Professor of International Political Economy, and Stefano Pagliari, Senior Lecturer in International Politics.
