Civil war might be the most likely escalation pathway towards
disaster for our country. On the flip side, learning how to avoid
civil conflict — and more ambitiously, repair our civic fabric —
might have the greatest leverage for addressing the challenges we
face.

Our guest Barbara F. Walter is one of the world's leading
experts on civil wars, political violence, and terrorism. She’s
the author of How Civil Wars Start: And How To Stop Them,
which provides insight into the drivers of civil war, how social
media fuels conflict, and how we might repair our broken
democracies.

Together, we explore what makes for a healthy liberal democracy,
why democracies worldwide are in decline, and the role of
resentment and hope. Join us in an exploration of the generator
functions for civil war in the digital age, and how we might
prevent them.
