Declining Democracy? US Election Roundtable

💭 Join us for an engaging and thought provoking panel discussion; ‘Declining Democracy?’, happening the week before the United States’ Presidential Election. In an era defined by increasing polarisation, rising populism, and challenges to democratic norms, this event will investigate the factors that can contribute to the success or decline of democracies.

Our distinguished panel includes Professor Brendon O’Connor and Associate Professor David Smith, who will explore topics including:

• Historical patterns of democratic resilience and decline
• Current global challenges facing democracies, including misinformation, economic inequality, and rising polarisation
• The upcoming US election and its effect on the Australia-US relationship, as well wider global relations
• And, your questions!

💡 This event promises to provide valuable insight on how democracies can thrive in an increasingly uncertain world. Whether you're a student, academic, or simply interested in global politics, join us for a compelling discussion that aims to shed light on the path forward for democratic governance.

🌎 Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with experts in international relations and politics, and contribute to an essential conversation about the future of democracy.
