The American election will close out a year of momentous elections around the world. Almost two decades on from the financial crisis of 2007 that helped unleash a wave of authoritarian, populist and nativist movements in democracies around the world, our panel of faculty will consider what new social and political forces have shaped the elections in 2024. What do those election results tell us about the health or fragility of global democracy, and how might we better understand the outcome of the American election as part of a broader global process?
Presented by the Berkeley Global Democracy Commons, this panel will feature UC Berkeley scholars from diverse disciplines, including James Vernon (History), Alison Post (Political Science), Trevor Jackson (History), Aarti Sethi (Anthropology) and Kwanele Sosibo (Art History).
