About this Event
What does a global shift towards authoritarian practices mean for the Indo-Pacific? How will the elections of this year influence the years to come? As the Indo-Pacific undergoes a period of rapid change, elections will result in either solidifying democracy or solidifying power. For example, earlier this year, Taiwan’s elections were a success in terms of their freedom and fairness, while Indonesia’s consolidated power in the current regime. Once more, the Indo-Pacific provides a varied environment for understanding how government systems can withstand the pressures of a modern era. Meanwhile, important government stability remains increasingly elusive for many countries. Join us to dive into the most critical question on the Indo-Pacific: can democracies survive authoritarianism?
