Illiberalism on the Rise: What History Tells Us
Zoom Webinar
Tuesday, January 25, 2021 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
The rise of autocracy and illiberalism has concerned many observers, even those covering the mainstream political discourse of the world’s largest democracies. Thirty years after Francis Fukuyama wrote about the triumph of liberal democracy, it is clear that illiberalism remains a pressing concern in the twenty-first century; what’s less clear is how we should interpret this illiberal wave sweeping across the world. Join us for a virtual discussion about what history can tell us about the relationship between democracy and illiberal regimes with Dr. Sheri Berman, Professor of Political Science at Bernard College, Columbia University, on Tuesday, January 25, from 12 PM to 1 PM ET.
