Sandra Borda and Jorge Giraldo in conversation with Camilo Arango

Democracy and liberty: a contemporary conversation

Jericó 2021, 

Winston Churchill once said “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” How is it possible to ensure that democratic systems work as well as they can? What role does the separation of powers play? What is the real value of the vote for citizens? Camilo Arango will talk to the political scientist Sandra Borda (Colombia) and the academic Jorge Giraldo (Colombia) about this political system, which is still imperfect yet guarantees its people greater liberties.
