## Resource

As democratic norms feel increasingly fragile, Laura Chinchilla argues that political leadership can still be a force for good. The former president of Costa Rica speaks to Amanda and Nathalie about recent events in Venezuela while offering a hopeful lens on the broader multilateral system. She reflects on the pride and challenges of being Costa Rica’s first woman president, the importance of holding the line against disinformation, and why public service can still be a source of purpose and integrity. Dr Amanda Sloat is Professor of Practice in the School of Politics, Economics, and Global Affairs at IE University in Madrid, Spain. Dr Nathalie Tocci is Professor of the Practice at SAIS Europe in Bologna, Italy. Power & Purpose is an IE Insights podcast.
