Wake

Freedom around the world is in retreat as "democracy faces its most serious crisis in decades."  This week on Wake we’ll try to get to the bottom of these worrying trends overseas and turn the focus on the U.S., to see what’s changing here at home and what if anything, the U.S. can do to set a model for the world. Our guests this week are: Sarah Repucci, senior director for global publications at Freedom House Thomas Carothers, director of the Democracy and Rule of Law Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Rosarie Tucci, director of Inclusive Societies at the United States Institute of Peace If you enjoy this discussion, please follow us on Twitter @WakeOnAir. To share feedback with us, send us an email to wake@talkmedianews.com.
