Democracy: The Last Dance?
Season 2
Episode 204
When the Soviet Union dissolved, the triumph of liberal democracy seemed so complete that some historians declared the moment “the end of history.” Three decades later, the liberal world order is on life support and many historians consider the fight to sustain democracy this century’s preeminent political challenge. Panellists will discuss the future of constitutional government around the world.
