Future of Democracy
Why is trust in institutions evaporating? And yet trust in peers is on the rise? Is Brexit, Trump, and the rise of the minor parties across the world all about those who feel left behind? How do we now address the growing disillusionment with the establishment while strengthening our democracy?
Will the new ways of including people in decision making help us create a more inclusive world?
Join Professors Alexander Betts and Beth Noveck to explore developments in global democracy.
