The worldwide decline of democracy that has been happening in recent years is something that could be defined as a passing phenomenon. History has proven that despite multiple countries experiencing extreme ideologies in the 1960s, democracy almost always managed to return to full power. Those recoveries are often accompanied by various nonviolent resistance and a series of restorative peacebuilding processes. In this special episode, Demos’ Delights, invited a special and honorable guest, Dr. Jose Manuel Ramos Horta, former president of Timor Leste, the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and the current chairperson for the World Movement for Democracy. Moderated by Dr. Diah Kusumaningrum, this discussion will focus on Dr. Jose Manuel Ramos Horta's thoughts on how nonviolent resistance could be used in both bringing and safeguarding democracy, relations between Indonesia and Timor Leste, and on what a restorative justice would look like between the two countries in an ideal world.
