Can Democracy Be Saved?

Arizona State University's School of Politics and Global Studies hosted a panel event with the co-authors of "Degenerations of Democracy" (Harvard University Press, 2022). This interactive discussion will be moderated by Michael Hechter, Foundation Professor in the School of Politics and Global Studies, and Anna Meyerrose, Assistant Professor in the School of Politics and Global Studies.

In "Degenerations of Democracy," 3 leading thinkers analyze the erosion of democracy’s social foundations and call for a movement to reduce inequality, strengthen inclusive solidarity, empower citizens and reclaim pursuit of the public good.
