Today\u2019s episode of\xa0Order from Ashes\xa0kicks off a new season of the podcast:\xa0Transnational Trends in Citizenship.\nToday, Naira Antoun, director of Century International\u2019s Transnational Trends in Citizenship project, talks with Century International director Thanassis Cambanis about the connections between the crises in the Middle East, Western Europe, and North America.\nFor more than a year, Century International hosted discussions among experts who usually focus on their own regions\u2014the Middle East or Western Europe and North America\u2014and asked them to compare their regions and policy areas.\nAs a result of this exercise, the project\u2019s teams of researchers, activists, and academics revealed commonalities and connections in their study of militias, gender and sexuality, police accountability, and protest. They also demonstrated how bringing experts on different regions together can test assumptions, create new knowledge, and inspire powerful new insights into old but persistent policy problems.\nThis podcast is part of \u201cTransnational Trends in Citizenship: Authoritarianism and the Emerging Global Culture of Resistance,\u201d a TCF project supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Open Society Foundations.\xa0\nParticipants include:\nNaira Antoun, director, Transnational Trends in Citizenship, Century International\nThanassis Cambanis, director, Century International
