SUMMARY:A Trend or an Exception?: Democratization in Armenia and Authoritarianism Worldwide
DESCRIPTION:\nPanel Discussion Moderated by Dr. Lisa Gulesserian\nLecturer on Armenian, Dept. of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations, Harvard University\nPANELISTS\nDr. Anna Ohanyan: Richard B. Finnegan Distinguished Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Stonehill College\nDr. Dimitri Sotiropoulos: Visiting Scholar, Center for European Studies at Harvard University\nDr. Valerie Sperling: Dept. of Political Science, Clark University\nAt a time when there is great concern over the apparent decline of liberal democracy around the world, in 2018 Armenia seemed to be a notable exception and was hailed as “badly needed good news for democracy” by the Washington Post. As the one-year anniversary of the Velvet Revolution approaches, is the news still good? Is Armenia an outlier, an exceptional case in a world where government-by-strong-man increasingly is the model? What can be learned from the examples of other states where democracy is in peril? Join with a panel of distinguished scholars to discuss these and other issues relating to democracy and authoritarianism in Armenia and around the world.\nFree and open to the public. Reception and refreshments immediately following the program and question-and-answer session.\nCO-SPONSORS\nAGBU Young Professionals of Boston\nHarvard Armenian Student Association\nNational Association for Armenian Studies and Research – NAASR /\nFundação Calouste Gulbenkian Lecture Series on Contemporary Armenian Topics\n
