A new podcast exploring the 'efficient secrets' of democratic constitutions–and the challenges to them–has been released by the Oxford Constitutional Studies Forum.

Efficient secrets are defined as those points that fall outside the basic laws and principles of government defined by constitutions that help to provide an understanding of politics.

The Efficient Secrets podcast aims to gain deeper insights into the unstable and fractious politics of the twenty-first century. This is at a time when democratic politics finds itself under increasing attack. 

The podcast is part of a broader project, the Constitutional Studies Forum, which brings together scholars of law and politics to understand the challenges faced by liberal democracies across the world today.
