Step 3: Dismantle the checks on power
We are witnessing a staggering, cross-continental retreat of liberal democracy, as corrupt leaders the world over follow a systematic pattern of high-level corruption known as state capture.
From Zuma in South Africa to Trump in America, Orbán in Hungary to Tuðman in Croatia, global freedom has been in a state of freefall for years. But this is not inevitable, nor is it irreversible.
Corruption expert Liz Dávid-Barrett explores the mechanisms of state capture and crucially - examines how nations are clawing back democracy from the clutches of even the longest serving corrupt leaders.©2027 Liz Dávid-Barrett (P)2027 Profile Books Limited
