This webinar explores the rise of polarization amongst the US public and implications for the upcoming election.

Domestic polarization has been on the rise in the US in recent years, with Democrats and Republicans moving further away from the centre on key policy issues. As polarization increases, so too do concerns about the state of US democracy and prospects of political violence surrounding the upcoming presidential election. 

This expert panel discusses key questions including:

  • What are the driving forces of the growing political divide in the US?
  • How far apart are voters on key election issues, from healthcare to immigration to national security?
  • How is partisan polarisation altering the effectiveness of US foreign policy and influencing America’s role in the world?
