At this year’s Belfast Festival of Ideas and Politics, openDemocracy was invited to curate Democracy Day on March 29, to explore the health of democracy and how to reinvigorate it for our volatile times. One highlight of a packed and challenging day was this panel of four speakers, organised in partnership with the Transnational Institute, on security policy as we know it today. Do the current approaches to counter-terrorism and conflict at home and abroad serve us well ? What type of security policy do we need to make our democracies fit for purpose? This transcript covers the opening contributions from Narzanin Massoumi ( Exeter University), Daniel Holder (Committee on the Administration of Justice), Cori Crider, (ex-Legal Director at Reprieve) and in the chair, Ben Hayes (Transnational Institute).
