Erosion of Democracy

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Given several indicators that the strength of democratic institutions might be threatened, this course examines if democracies are really being threatened, if these threats are new, and in what political, economic and social transformations are these threats. The course further asks how can one analyze the speeches of concern that surround them and if our democratic institutions are able to defend themselves or transform and how this compares with the rest of the world.
