In the span of a few years, democracy has gone from a likely, if distant, destination for much of the world to a far more tenuous prospect. This seminar series, co-chaired by Professors Yanilda María González and Gautam Nair, delves deep into the various challenges, both internal and external, that stand in the way of building more accountable, responsive, and capable democracy.
