The State of Democracy in the Americas

Democracy in Latin America currently faces intersecting challenges. Recent data from the public opinion survey LatinoBarometro shows that support for democracy is waning across the region. At the same time, democratically elected governments are threatening independent institutions, the division of powers, and indirect democratic processes. What are the shared challenges that countries in Latin America, and across the globe, encounter in protecting democracy? The Georgetown Americas Institute is pleased to host a conference analyzing the state of democracy in Latin America and the world today.

This conference is sponsored by the Georgetown Americas Institute and Forma.
