Posted by University of Pennsylvania on October 8, 2018

The Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy, in partnership with Perry World House, Fels Policy Research Initiative, Foreign Policy Research Institute, and Penn-Temple European Studies Colloquium, presents the “DEMOCRACY IN TROUBLE?” SERIES throughout the 2018-2019 academic year.

ARE YOUTH THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY? A DIALOGUE

Featuring:

  • Yascha Mounk, Harvard
  • Julia Mead, New York Magazine
  • Moderator: Nancy Cordes, CBS News

Thu. October 11 4:30-6:00 pm
The Forum (Room 250), 133 S. 36th Street
Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics

Globally, are young people democracy’s greatest hope — or are they the most willing to embrace authoritarianism? Yascha Mounk and Julia Mead assess how a new generation of citizens might hasten the populist overthrow of liberal democracy or, alternatively, revitalize it with a new egalitarian ethos.
