This month, the Global in the Granite State Podcast spoke with Ambassador Adrian Basora and Javier Corrales, Professor at Amherst College, about why democracy is important. We look at this question through the lens of rising authoritarianism around the world and the challenges that this presents to the world, the US, and New Hampshire. Venezuela is taken as a case study on how democracy can fail and the impact that can have globally and regionally. Join us as we discuss this important point in history and better understand the global landscape.
