Chrystia Freeland Study Group: Liberal Democracy in an Age of Might Makes Right

In an era of resurgent authoritarianism and fracturing international norms, the rules-based order that has underpinned global stability for decades is under direct challenge. Chrystia Freeland and former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull draw on their experience at the forefront of democratic governance to examine whether liberal democracy can hold its ground — and what it will take to defend it. A candid conversation about power, principle, and the choices leaders must make when the old rules no longer apply.

GUEST: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, 29th Prime Minister of Australia
