Authoritarianism v. Democracy: Francis Fukuyama on The Year of Elections

Season 2024 Episode 7059 | 17m 42s

Democracy has undergone a major stress test this year, with nearly half the world's voting population heading to the polls in a time of democratic backsliding and growing extremism. Francis Fukuyama, senior fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute, discusses the danger of taking democracy for granted, and -- following his trip to Ukraine -- how he believes the war there might end.
