As Joseph R. Biden, Jr. and Kamala Harris assume office as President and Vice President of the United States in the shadow of riots at the US Capitol, many wonder what political violence and unprecedented distrust in institutions says about the health of democracy in the United States and around the world. Institute Director James A. Robinson joined Harris Professors William Howell of the Center for Effective Government and Anthony Fowler for an episode of Not Another Politics Podcast.
