Politics Redefined with Gladden Pappin
In a podcast episode recorded on July 17th, 2025, Gladden Pappin, the president of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs, engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with host Mark, exploring the emerging political sensibility associated with post-liberalism and its impact on European politics.
Gladden Pappin, who is also a co-founder and deputy editor of the American Affairs Journal and the online magazine Post-Liberal Order, shared insights into his transnational intellectual journey. He presented post-liberalism as a response to the perceived failures of liberalism, a movement that is challenging the status quo of European politics.
The conversation emphasised the need for greater understanding of new conservative perspectives, particularly in Europe. Pappin highlighted that this new political sensibility is spreading across the continent, leading to transformations in European politics towards more liberal democratic values marked by freedom, constitutionalism, and educational and climate policies.

Pappin emphasised the importance of examining the failures of the old liberal international order and the emergence of new alliances that create a space for different people to exchange ideas.
The podcast served as a platform for exploring what is emerging to replace the old liberal international order and the role of figures like Pappin in shaping this new political landscape. The episode underscored the significance of understanding post-liberalism as a response to the failures of liberalism and the need for a nuanced approach to the evolving political sensibilities across the continent.
