In the current political landscape it appears that, after decades of progress, democracy is decaying and we’re seeing an authoritarian resurgence across the world.

In this episode, Jess Miles speaks with Natasha Lindstaedt, author of 'Democratic Decay and Authoritarian Resurgence', about what has caused this breakdown of democracy, the impact COVID-19 is likely to have on a global scale and ways we can try and curb the threats to remaining democratic systems.
