Democracy and Its Discontents, Ep. 4: The Allure of the Strongman

Why are voters in democracies around the world being wooed by aspiring autocrats? What do these types of leaders promise, and do they actually deliver?

Stephan is a research professor at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy and Strategy and serves as research director for democracy and global governance at IGCC.
