    DPC talks with Bankwatch's Pippa Gallop - Zagreb

    DPC's Valery Perry talked with Pippa Gallop of Bankwatch about the southern gas interconnection gas pipeline project, which has become a main US political priority in BiH in spite of major questions about transparency, environmental impact, due diligence, the potential for it to become a stranded asset, and the long-term cost to the people of BiH. Bankwatch warned of the pitfalls of this project already in early 2025: https://bankwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025_03_The-southern-gas-interconnection-from-Croatia-to-Bosnia-and-Herzegovina.pdf

    DPC talks with Peter Emerson - Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Why have we been led to think that in an election 50% + 1 is somehow a good outcome, and represents a real majority of preferences? Are there better options? Valery Perry talks with Peter Emerson of the De Borda Institute in Belfast to try to answer this question and introduce the concept of multi-preference decision making. He also shares his experiences over several decades cycling around the world talking to people in small villages and big cities - from Bosnia to China and in many places in between - about how there are in fact better decision-making procedures out there.

    DPC talks with Samir Beharic - Bamberg, Germany/Jajce, BiH

    Valery Perry talks with Samir Beharic, who started his career as a young activist in high school and is now working on his PhD in Germany. They talk about the lack of concerted civic actions in BiH and the region taking on the big issues and frustrations that unite people, in general but in particular with regard to mining and extraction. The inability to break out of these straight jackets makes the global tectonic shifts happening even more worrying. But both agree that the only solutions that work will ultimately come from the bottom up.

    DPC talks with Adnan Huskic - Sarajevo, BiH

    Valery Perry talks with Adnan Huskić in a conversation that quickly veers into the big picture macro political shifts that are shaking the world, while considering what this means for BiH and the region. Huskić, a seasoned Bosnian political analyst and academic, provides a forensic and wide-ranging examination of the democratic crises simultaneously afflicting Bosnia-Herzegovina and the wider liberal world order. He describes the Dayton thirtieth-anniversary events as "lukewarm" — exercises in box-ticking rather than genuine stock-taking — and situates Bosnia's stagnation within a global pattern of "entropy": the slow, barely noticed dismantling of norms, educational quality, institutional integrity, and media independence that has allowed autocratic instincts to fill the vacuum. He notes the concept of "distortion of preferences" — the growing gap between what populations actually want and what political elites deliver — as the structural driver of democratic backsliding everywhere, from Washington to Sarajevo.
