Where can you listen?

Are today’s global institutions and norms for peace, democracy, and human rights still alive, or are they just “dead men walking”?

In this thought-provoking new podcast series by the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT), organised in collaboration with Justice Info, we will try to answer the question.

At a time of growing polarisation, geopolitical fragmentation, and declining institutional trust, our Dead Men Walking series aims to open space for honest reflection and serious thinking not only about the problems afflicting 20th century global norms and institutions, but also about new ideas and innovations for a fast-changing world.

Each episode of the series will feature top thought leaders, partners and practitioners from IFIT’s 400+ global expert network.
