Former Human Rights Watch head Ken Roth interviews Harvard professor Stephen Walt on the erosion of democracy within the US.
A longtime columnist for International Coverage and professor of worldwide relations on the Harvard Kennedy Faculty of Authorities, Stephen Walt is a pointy critic of how the USA has pursued its model of liberal democracy globally, which he calls liberal hegemony. His books embody Taming American Energy, The Hell of Good Intentions, and the New York Occasions bestseller The Israel Foyer and US International Coverage.
On this episode of Reframe, Ken Roth and Stephen Walt focus on how President Donald Trump is undermining democratic norms and establishments throughout the US and worldwide, questioning whether or not his management has caused an unprecedented shift in its international energy.
