This recording is part of a new endeavour at the Governance Post, the Shaping Tomorrow podcast. The motto of the Hertie School is ‘Understanding Today, Shaping Tomorrow’. With this podcast, we aim to talk to tomorrow’s policymakers to get their views on all that concerns our world today.
For our debut episode, Om Marathe interviews William Fernandez and Ximena Docarmo about the attempted coup d’etat in Peru and the systemic reasons that brought upon these turn of events. Connecting the past, present and future of Peru, the discussion unearths important facts about Peru’s politics and economy, and ends with policy recommendations that the guests think can help with fixing the mineral-rich country’s problems.
