The Thing About Democracy IT ALL INTERSECTS

    • Society & Culture

‘The Thing About Democracy’, is the first episode of IT ALL INTERSECTS.



On the sidelines of the Summit for Democracy 2023, we spoke to Laura Thornton of the German Marshall Fund and Katie La Roque of Freedom House.



There are serious human security concerns and humanitarian issues faced by people in democratic countries around the world. These concerns beg the question: is democracy really the best form of government?



In search of answers to that question, we discussed the current state of democracy and the implications it has for democratic countries - like South Africa and the United States.
