The year 2020 has been highly disruptive and the pandemic has had far-reaching political consequences beyond the health crisis, including in terms of democracy and civil liberties. What does this year tell us about the health of our democracies? How do we bring back a balance between civil liberties and the necessity of public order? What should be the common strategy to respond to the aggressive behavior of the Chinese Communist Party? What will be the three major developments we should be looking for in 2021? In this last episode .think atlantic of the year, IRI's Thibault Muzergues is joined by IRI’s president Dan Twining to look back at the year 2020 and try and make sense of it all.
