ARE YOUTH THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY? A DIALOGUE

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.
