Who:
Steven Levitsky is Professor of Government at Harvard University. His research and teaching focus on political parties, democracy and authoritarianism and weak and informal institutions in Latin America and across the developing world. He is the author of two books, Competitive Authoritarianism and Informal Institutions and Democracy.
Daniel Ziblatt, a Professor of Government at Harvard University, is a leading authority on contemporary Europe and democracy and authoritarianism in Europe from the 19th century to the present. He is the author of Structuring the State and Conservative Political Parties and the Birth of Modern Democracy in Europe, of which Francis Fukuyama said 'revolutionizes the literature on democratic transitions'.
Why:
The events of the past few years have made it clear that we cannot take American democracy for granted.
Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt sounded the alarm about the erosion of democracy in our own country in their 2017 book, How Democracies Die. Join them for a conversation about where we are now--and what we need to do.
