What Can Be Learned from International Perspectives on Autocracy and Democracy?

A conversation featuring Timothy Synder (University of Toronto), Kim Lane Scheppele (Princeton), and Miguel Angel Lara Otaola (Electoral Integrity Project). What happens when the contours of a constitutional democracy start to change? What are the most important warning signs and red lines? How can we tell the difference, and what are the steps that can strengthen, rather than weaken, a society’s democratic trajectory when under stress? This conversation explored recent turns toward authoritarianism and other challenges for constitutional forms of government and identify key lessons. The conversation was moderated by Stephen B. Heintz (Rockefeller Brothers Fund) with opening remarks from Academy president Laurie L. Patton.
