Democracy in global-historical perspective

As part of the University of Michigan's Democracy Week, the Ford School will host Democracy in Global-Historical Perspective, a public-facing discussion examining democratization, democratic backsliding, and the resilience of democratic institutions across time and place. The conversation will move beyond a solely U.S.-focused lens to situate contemporary democratic challenges within broader global and historical patterns.
