Democracy experts Rachel Kleinfeld and Frances Z. Brown sit down with Aaron to discuss the global decline in democracy, strategies to push back against creeping authoritarianism, and Biden's much-anticipated Summit for Democracy.
This week the Biden Administration will host the Summit for Democracy at a pivotal time for democracies around the world. Democracy has been in global decline for over a decade and is on track to sustain the worrying trend this year—given coups and power grabs Tunisia, Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Can Biden’s summit be a fruitful convening given democracy’s downturn? Is dividing dictatorships and democracies even a useful paradigm? And can the United States still lead on this issue given its own perilous troubles at home?
Tune in as Aaron sits down with leading experts Rachel Kleinfeld and Frances Z. Brown to discuss the state of democracy and the path forward in advance of the summit.
