Description

Vi är vana att förknippa statskupper med instabila diktaturer långt borta, men vad händer när dom sker i demokratier? Vad har en statskupp för effekt på en stat? Hur genomför man en kupp och i vilka samhällen och situationer är dom möjliga? Kan kupper föra något gott med sig och går det ens att skydda sig?

P3 Dystopia reder ut vem som egentligen styr när demokratiska institutioner faller.
