In her book Clash der Titanen (Clash of the Titans) Professor of Political Communications Christ'l De Landtsheer (UA) analyzes the role of personality in Belgian politics.
Is it a coincidence that this research appears in an era of mediatised elections and crises?

A discussion between Christ'l De Landtsheer, Jan Kuitenbrouwer (De Woorden van Wilders en hoe ze werken) and Jan Blommaert (University of Ghent and Tilburg; De crisis van de democratie).
