From Authoritarianism to Aspiration: Democracy’s Fragile Frontier

About the Event

This session examines countries navigating the difficult and often incomplete transition away from authoritarian rule, with a focus on the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe.

Our panel will explore what democratic reform actually looks like on the ground, what makes transitions succeed or stall, and what the U.S. and international community can do to support civil society in these regions.
