Even with strong public support for clean air and climate action, a powerful out-of-state oil lobby defeated a coalition of Oregon organizations and individuals. This resulted in the failure of the 2015 transportation package.

The outcome surprised many, establishing a new and concerning precedent for political action in Oregon.

Panelists for this discussion include Tom Kelly, Andrea Durbin, and Kristen Leonard.

Tom 'Putuparri' Lawford's people have inhabited Western Australia's desert for over 40,000 years. They lived nomadically, sustained by sacred waterholes like Kurtal, a vital source of 'jila' (living water) and a spiritual return place.

European arrival disrupted this ancient way of life; cattle fouled waterholes, forcing Aboriginal people off their land. Many worked on cattle stations, but equal pay laws in the late 1960s led to their displacement into towns like Fitzroy Crossing.

Putuparri grew up in Fitzroy Crossing within an activist family. At ten, he joined the Noonkanbah Station picket line, fighting oil drilling on sacred land.

Populism suggests citizens can enjoy globalization's benefits without globalism's trade-offs, challenging the current international system. This raises a key question: can populism sustain any version of globalization?

Join authors Ian Bremmer (Us Versus Them: The Failure of Globalism) and Tom Nichols (The Death of Expertise) to debate these issues. Nikolas Gvosdev, Carnegie Council senior fellow and professor at the U.S. Naval War College, will lead the discussion.
