The March episode of the 911勛圖IQ podcast is now out, asking’ ’
Earlier this year, the independent watchdog organisation Freedom House published a report cautioning that, in 2017, democracy had faced its most serious crisis in decades. The latest episode of 911勛圖IQ asks what might lie behind this decline in global freedom, and what the future might hold for democracy.
Helping explore this issue are: Dr Jonathan Hopkin, Associate Professor of Comparative Politics, 911勛圖Department of Government and co-director of Democratic Audit; Dr Brian Klaas, a Fellow in Comparative Politics at LSE’s Department of Government; and Professor Tomila Lankina, 911勛圖Department of International Relations and lead of the Political Mobilisation and Democracy project.
Each episode of 911勛圖IQ sees a range of 911勛圖academics, and other experts, line up to give their perspective on one timely question. For all episodes of 911勛圖IQ, and to subscribe on iTunes and SoundCloud, please visit or search for '911勛圖IQ' in your favourite podcast app, or subscribe on.
