Democracy in Danger: Tipping Point?

Season 3 Episode 302 | 56m 46s | CC

When the Soviet Union dissolved, the triumph of liberal democracy seemed so complete that some historians declared the moment “the end of history.” Three decades later, history is continuing apace and the fight to sustain democracy is this century’s foremost political challenge.
