Democrazie e autocrazie nel primo quarto del XXI secolo
A seminar of the Jean Monnet Chair Challenges to Democracy and Representation in the EU (EuDARe) and of the DSPS In-Formativi seminar series, in the Sala Conferenze of Via Gravina 12.
Prof. Salvatore Vassallo, Professor of Political Science at the Università di Bologna, on democratic backsliding in the first quarter of the 21st century: the rise of illiberal leaders and the erosion of guarantees and liberties in countries where democracy seemed solid, the hardening and growing assertiveness of authoritarian regimes at home and abroad, how democratic regression underlies the major conflicts of our time, and the role Europe can play in countering it.
On the occasion, the new edition of Sistemi Politici Comparati (Il Mulino), edited by Salvatore Vassallo, was presented. Introduced by Francesca Longo, Director of the DSPS. Moderated by Marcello Carammia and Danilo Di Mauro (DSPS).
