-
- Gesellschaft und Kultur
Democracies across the globe are in crisis. To rebuild trust and strengthen good governance, our guest Oby Ezekwesili advocates for the citizens to be put on centerstage of the political system. To fix politics, as she calls it, we must “elevate the office of the citizen to its rightful place in our nation and develop a political class of servant leaders.” But what does it take to empower citizens to understand their power and act on it? Where does international cultural policy come into play in this process? And how could a new multilateral system, based on these values and ideas, look like? Our guest Oby Ezekwesili is an economic policy expert, former vice-president of the World Bank for the African Region and has served twice as Federal Minister in Nigeria.
