The LatinNews Podcast
The Rise of the Far-Right in the Southern Cone
How much is historical revisionism in South America's southern cone responsible for a rise in the far-right in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay? What does this mean for the largely prevailing consensus on the brutality and the indefensible and egregious human rights violations perpetrated by the dictatorships in the 1970s and 1980s? Can we point to an amnesia of these periods which has contributed to a democratic backsliding in the region? Where do President Javier Milei, former president Jair Bolsonaro, Chilean politician Jose Antonio Kast, and others, fit into this? In this episode of the LatinNews podcast w...

50 años después: ¿Ha cambiado el autoritarismo?
Luego de las dictaduras militares en Latinoamérica, la recomposición democrática tardó varios años en producirse. Hoy esa democracia está en cuestionamiento. Algunos índices reciente señalan un crecimiento de la tolerancia hacia regímenes autoritarios. Scott Mainwaring, profesor en la Universidad de Notre Dame, ha investigado el tema y sus hallazgos nos ayudarán a responder preguntas como ¿el surgimiento de radicalismo tanto a la izquierda como a la derecha del espectro político poseen el poder suficiente para poner nuevamente en jaque a la democracia de la región?

I think they're really important. But I don't think that they are a complete safeguard. Certainly, when you create democracies in hard places, you want to think very carefully about what institutions you want in place and how you strengthen them. But if you get illiberal governing parties in democracies in hard places, they can run over institutions.Scott MainwaringSupport Democracy Paradox on Patreon for bonus episodes and exclusive updates and information.

Lucan Way on Ukraine. Democracy in Hard Places
The war is never going to really end. Because even in the most optimistic scenario where Ukraine regains its territory and it goes back to the 1991 borders, Russia is almost certainly going to present a permanent threat to Ukrainian sovereignty. I think objectively it will. But even if objectively it wasn’t, after such an invasion, you can imagine the political environment's going to treat it as one.Lucan WaySupport Democracy Paradox on Patreon for bonus episodes and exclusive updates and information.

Out of the Past: Investigating Film Noir
Episode 52: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (with Scott McGee)
Appearances can be deceiving. On the surface, INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS is pure science fiction, the tale of seed pods from outer space that produce emotionless body doubles of each citizen in the small town of Santa Mira. Often read as an allegory of either Communism or McCarthyism, where every person who becomes "one of them" loses autonomy by willingly buying into the unthinking collective, the film in fact plumbs questions of humanity in the modern era with subtlety and nuance more common to films noir than to science fiction movies. As Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) and...
