Democracy in Retreat

from Carnegie Council Podcasts Hosted by Yana Gorokhovskaia, Kevin Maloney

In the last twenty years rights and liberties have eroded across more of the world than they have advanced. The cumulative effect is a transformed international order in which authoritarian governments are more assertive and the democracies that shaped the postwar system are at risk of diminishing influence. Yana Gorokhovskaia, research director at Freedom House, joins the Values & Interests podcast to discuss the findings of the latest Freedom in the World report and the challenges democracies face as the norms that once anchored the international system come under increasing strain. Read Freedom House's latest Freedom in the World report. Be sure to subscribe to "Carnegie Council" wherever you stream your podcasts.
