Rules of the Game – discussing democratic institutions

Rules in Perspective on Ep. 41: Direct Democracy in Latin America


Listen Later

In this episode of Rules in Perspective I review the podcast episode 41 on direct democracy in Latin America, a discussion I had with Yanina Welp.

My three takeaways from episode 41:

0:50 Direct democracy is a powerful democratic institution.

2:41 Authoritarian regimes may use "the will of the people" to consolidate power.

7:14 The devil is in the details.
