The Future of Democracy Around the World

By many accounts, the global fate of democracy is in question. Half of the world’s democracies are in retreat. The number of countries moving toward authoritarianism far outweighs the number moving toward democracy. And it has become common for elected leaders around the globe to use their power to weaken democratic institutions from inside the system. As part of our Democracy Talks series, Emilie Hafner-Burton, professor at UC San Diego's School of Global Policy and Strategy and the co-director of the Future of Democracy Initiative at the UC Institute for Global Conflict and Cooperation, talks about the global challenges to democracy with Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way and Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer.

I didn't hear in this conversation or the first one about the actions of people on Jan. 6th in to the health of American democracy or now in a broader context.

Maybe if everyone would stop calling the US democracy...and educate themselves that we are a REPUBLIC !!!

I don't think voting of the public should be a thing in a democracy. Obviously it's a question of, do you want democracy or no.
