  Justin Kempf  

Is it possible for a democracy to govern undemocratically? Can the people elect an undemocratic leader? Is it possible for democracy to bring about authoritarianism? And if so, what does this say about democracy? ​​My name is Justin Kempf. Every week I talk to the brightest minds on subjects like international relations, political theory, and history to explore democracy from every conceivable angle. Topics like civil resistance, authoritarian successor parties, and the autocratic middle class challenge our ideas about democracy. Join me as we unravel new topics every week.

Is Democracy Still in Decline? Yana Gorokhovskaia on the Freedom in the World Report

Without an elected government, without a government that truly represents... a lot of things are imperiled - rights, democracy, freedom, certainly peace.
