Struggle for Democracy in Asia: Regression, Resilience, Revival

August 6, 2020 | 10:00 - 11:00 AM EDT | 16:00 - 17:00 CET 

Asia is of crucial importance to the future of democracy and its global struggle with autocracy in the 21st century. Consolidated democracies are still the exception in Asia, and many aspiring democracies have suffered setbacks amid the ongoing wave of democratic regression. However, the Asia-Pacific region is still much more democratic today than it was 30 years ago. The Bertelsmann Transformation Index’s data and country reports show that Asia offers important insights into the factors and mechanisms that can slow democratic decay. Our distinguished global panel will discuss the drivers of democratic regression, sources of democratic resilience, and the governance challenges posed by COVID-19.

Africa's New Leader: Changing the Guard or Changing Systems?

August 13, 2020 | 10:00 - 11:00 AM EDT | 16:00 - 17:00 CET 

Africa’s “old men” are slowly but surely being replaced. But do new leaders really bring meaningful change or is it just of "old wine in new wineskins"? On 13 August we will discuss this question with distinguished speakers from Malawi, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
