7 – Defending, Renewing & Spreading Liberal Democracy [Part 2]

Show notes

In the second part of our special report back from our high-level workshops in Berlin and Prague on Neo-idealism and grand strategy for liberal democracies, we look at why the stakes for Ukrainian victory against Russian aggression are so high – and what the outsize implications of the outcome might be. We also discuss whether the liberal democratic model is still attractive – and how modern democracies can remember the lessons of their histories to ensure both its renewal and spread.
