About this listen

In this episode of Tocqueville Talks, political scientist Liesbet Hooghe joins Dr. Elizabeth L’Arrivée to examine how modern politics is increasingly organized around cultural authority rather than economic ideology. The conversation explores why citizens feel ruled even when institutions claim to be decentralized—and how legitimacy changes when decision-making moves farther from daily life.
