The Schemel Forum World Affairs Seminar- Is Liberal Democracy Already History?

Friday, 18 February, 2022

What is the state of democracy today, at home and abroad? Why have illiberal democracies evolved, particularly in eastern European countries and a drift toward illiberalism in the US? What has become of the peaceful revolution associated with the fall of the Berlin Wall? This talk will address the factors that made possible the societal hope that took root, the factors that facilitated unprecedented setbacks, and the factors that now sustain the promise of reclaiming democracy while addressing the issues of broader social justice.

Elzbieta Matynia, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology and Liberal Studies and Director of the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies at the New School for Social Research
