Is the American Republic in Danger?

Special | 58m 43s

Yascha Mounk, Ph.D., from Harvard University, on the future of liberal world order.

For more the 200 years, Americans have held fast to the country's seemingly impenetrable democratic systems and institutions, in checks and balances, and separation of powers. However, in January, The Economist downgraded the U.S.’s democratic ranking from "full democracy” to “flawed democracy.”
