Join us for the 2024 World Affairs Seminar! Registration will open Fall 2023. Visit https://worldaffairsseminar.org/was2024/ for details.
Current events across the globe have exposed significant differences in how many countries approach such critical issues as political representation, human rights, and governance. For many political scientists, the end of the Cold War in the 1990s was supposed to usher in an era of unparalleled political democracy; with authoritarianism vanquished, the voice of the people would finally be heard. Yet the twenty-first century has not seen global democracy flourish. In fact, a number of countries have embraced models of governance rooted in autocracy and totalitarianism. Even in well-established democracies, developments like the War on Terror, the refugee crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic have called the concept of democracy – and the systems of governance that often support such a concept – into question.
The 2024 World Affairs Seminar, Democracy and Governance: Evolving Global Perspectives, will allow delegates the opportunity to survey how these important matters are playing out around the world. Attention will be paid to theoretical models of governance, along with the ways that political systems work – and perhaps don’t work – on a day-to-day basis. It is no longer a given that democracy is the final destination for global political development. Such a conclusion will come to have a profound impact on how all global citizens think about such things as elections, political parties, rights, and responsibilities. The question of democracy, in other words, has yet to be fully answered.
