The world faces ‘democratic recession’. Today more people live in autocratic regimes than in liberal democracies. Researchers from the University of Auckland are exploring ways to reshape democracy for the 21st century, re-inventing a 2500-year-old idea from ancient Greece and consensus decision-making hui as practised on marae. From Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, New Zealand's leading research institution, Ingenious is a podcast exploring how research from New Zealand is transforming the world for the better. Hosted by experienced podcast and award winning journalist Nikki Mandow, Ingenious tells the stories of innovation, ambition and hope from the University of Auckland's leading researchers.
