Listen "The State Of Democracy"
Episode Synopsis
Democracy is in jeopardy. Dictatorships are on the rise. What can we do to change the political landscape? In Stanford Reunion's "Classes without Quizzes" series, FSI scholars explain why populism is on the rise in the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world and how it relates to the decline of democracies. FSI Director Michael McFaul moderates the panel which includes Francis Fukuyama, the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at FSI and the Mosbacher Director at the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law; Anna Grzymala-Busse, an FSI senior fellow and Director of the Global Populisms Project; and Didi Kuo, the Academic Research and Program Manager for the Program on American Democracy in Comparative Perspectives.
