Video Title

The Decline of Democracy Standing Up for Liberal, Democratic Values

Body

To Yascha Mounk, we are facing a global crisis. Support for liberal democracy has fallen markedly across Western Europe and North America—and this development is especially stark in the U.S., and especially amongst its youth. Populist, authoritarian parties erode the checks and balances of the rule of law, the judiciary system and free press. They discard the rights of citizens and push more people out of the sphere of politics. And they ride waves of racial animosity, promising violence, or imprisonment, for those who resist. In this timely, necessary talk, Mounk outlines how these forces arise—and, vitally, what we can do to combat them.
