About this episode

This episode explores the state of democracy in Southeast Asia and the challenges posed by autocratic governments.

Throughout history, Southeast Asian communities have fought fiercely against oppression. Yet today, autocratic governments frequently abuse "ASEAN values" to silence and suppress marginalized voices. What kind of democracy actually exists in Southeast Asia? Can the people triumph over autocracy? And perhaps most importantly: how do we stop the region's democratic backsliding? In this episode, Randy W. Nandyatama dives deep into the state of democracy in Southeast Asia with two incredible guests: Sol R. Dorotea Iglesias from the University of the Philippines and Thum Ping Tjin from New Naratif. Tune in now to Podcast Hubungan Internasional, Episode 110. ============= 馃搶 YouTube
