Introducing...What's Wrong With Democracy?
By the end of this year, countries making up half the world’s population will have held elections. But not all of them will have been free and fair. In ‘What’s Wrong with Democracy?’ Professor Ben Ansell of Oxford University will, with the help of academics, journalists, activists and writers, figure out whether democracy is working and how best to preserve democratic freedoms, equality and rights.
What’s Wrong with Democracy? is produced by Tortoise Media and supported by The Open Society Foundations.
