    Description

    Decades following the robust "Third Wave of Democratization" in the 1980s and 1990s, authoritarian regimes around the world have been growing, with some democracies slipping back toward autocratic tendencies. After years of democratic expansion, what factors have contributed to this trend? What does it mean for people living under autocratic regimes and those who are experiencing a contraction of their rights and liberties? The projects presented here touch on different aspects of the question of "creeping authoritarianism" from international organizations, to corruption, to women's rights and the representation of minorities.
