A discussion between regional experts about the state of democracy around the world during the Covid-19 pandemic, and how it can be strengthened. Conversation topics might include: In what ways have authoritarian leaders used the pandemic to strengthen their grip on power? Will the measures we have seen in established democracies lead to democratic erosion after the crisis is over? What differences do we see across countries? What are some key actions to maintain and strengthen democratic institutions during and after the crisis? Speakers will cover four regions: • China: Jeremy Lee Wallace, Cornell • Europe: Sheri Berman, Barnard • Latin America: Maria Victoria Murillo, Columbia • Southeast Asia: Tom Pepinsky, Cornell • Moderator: Susan Stokes, University of Chicago
