The Zelensky Effect
Drawing on her new book 'The Zelensky Effect', co-authored with Henry E. Hale, Professor Onuch will tell the story of Ukraine through the journey of one man who has come to symbolise his country. Olga Onuch is Professor (Chair) in Comparative and Ukrainian Politics at the University of Manchester. A scholar of comparative politics of eastern Europe and Latin America, her work looks at the motivations driving citizens to vote, protest, and/or migrate, and factors related to their media consumption, as well as identity formation and policy preferences. In addition to The Zelensky Effect and her first monograph, Mapping Mass Mobilization (2014), her work has appeared in leading journals, and she regularly appears in international media outlets. Emma Graham-Harrison is Senior International Affairs Correspondent for The Guardian & The Observer. In this role, she has reported extensively on Russia's war in Ukraine. She has spent more than a decade reporting from Kabul, Beijing and Madrid.

Uncovering Politics: Global tech companies and the Ukraine war
EPISODE SUMMARY This week we ask: What has been the role of global tech companies during the war in Ukraine? And is better regulation needed?
