Old Men New Politics
A series of blog posts that focus on the way in which long-established political figures utilize new technologies, new parties, and younger partisan supporters to retain their existing power or return to politics after years in the wilderness.
Old Men, New Politics is a thought-provoking blog series that explores the paradox of aging political leadership in a rapidly evolving world. As many global leaders remain in power well into their senior years, this series examines how traditional political figures adapt—or fail to adapt—to the fast-paced changes driven by digital technology, populist movements, and shifting societal values. Through in-depth analysis and commentary, Old Men, New Politics sheds light on the intersection of age, leadership, and political transformation, asking crucial questions about the future of governance in an increasingly digital and youthful global landscape.
Old Men, New Politics looks at politics around the world and focuses on instances where older politicians, both in and out of office, have attempted to use contemporary methods of digital communication to maintain, restore or rehabilitate their political images to their former base, or in the pursuit of a new following.
