The state and democracy

Democracy Sausage with Mark Kenny

This week we are getting back to the building blocks of politics and democracy with philosopher Philip Pettit.

How did states form and are they inevitable? Has globalisation changed our perception of states? And how do different approaches to democracy influence their politics?

This week on Democracy Sausage, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Philip Pettit, joins Professor Mark Kenny.

Philip Pettit is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the School of Philosophy at the ANU and the L.S. Rockefeller University Professor of Politics and Human Values at Princeton University.

Mark Kenny is the Director of the ANU Australian Studies Institute. He came to the University after a high-profile journalistic career including six years as chief political correspondent and national affairs editor for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Canberra Times.
