Harvard Professor Danial Ziblatt, will examine the history of democracy in the U.S. against a global backdrop of how democracies have died throughout history.
Is democracy in decline around the world? Is American democracy itself in trouble? Examining the history of democracy in the United States against a global backdrop of how democracies have died throughout history, Harvard Professor Ziblatt, comes to some surprising conclusions about the sources of vulnerability and strength in American democracy today. A book sale and signing will follow the program. “After Ziblatt's presentation, Prof. David O'Connell will offer a brief scholarly counterargument that challenges certain aspects of Ziblatt's book as they pertain to the American political system. This event is sponsored by the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues and co-sponsored by the departments of political science and international studies, and the Churchill Fund. It is part of the Clarke Forum’s Leadership in an Age of Uncertainty Series. For more information, visit the website or call 717-245-1875.
