Season 3 Episode 15 entitled “Democracy delivering results” commemorates the International Day of Democracy by featuring Danilo Türk, President of Slovenia and currently President of Club de Madrid, who together with host Andrew Keen sat down for a review of the challenges facing democracies around the world today.
