The Future of Democracy: Democratic Backsliding and Authoritarian Movements – Thomas Carothers
Advertisement
250 years ago, the United States began with a Declaration of Independence to establish a nation grounded in the belief that we are all created equal, with inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Today, democratic backsliding is weakening institutions and norms, undermining the rule of law, and eroding fundamental rights and freedoms in the United States and around the world.
Join us at Beloit College for The Future of Democracy, a timely public lecture series exploring the causes of democratic backsliding, how it affects us, and what we can do about it.
