#3 - Colombia, Cólera, Comida (Jamie Shenk, Andrés Velasco, Nicholas Gill) by Miradas

COLOMBIA PEACEBUILDING - LIBERALISM VS POPULISM - AMAZONIAN CUISINE

In Episode #3:

Newsflash (01:35): John speaks with Jamie Shenk, a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Oxford, about Colombia's fragile peace following the formal end of the civil war in 2016, ongoing violence against community activists by paramilitary groups, and the contested role of local consultations in achieving sustainable, inclusive development.

Deep Dive (11:50): Laurie interviews Professor Andrés Velasco, Dean of Public Policy at the London School of Economics, and former Finance Minister of Chile (2006-10) about his new co-authored book with Daniel Brieba, 'Liberalismo en Tiempos de Cólera', whether "toxic and anti-democratic" populism from Brazil to Mexico can ever be inevitable or beneficial, and his fears that Chile's president Sebastián Piñera is stoking nativism against migrants.
