The Civic Forum is a weekly webinar featuring short lectures and discussions of democracy, authoritarianism and activism from leading scholars and practitioners. It is hosted by Rory Truex, Associate Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University. 

In the last session of the summer, Rory will be joined by Adam Przeworski and Susan Stokes, two of the field's leading scholars of democracy, authoritarianism and democratic backsliding. Adam and Sue will discuss patterns in democratic collapse throughout the world, drawing on insights from Sue's new book, "The Backsliders." They will take stock of the state of American democracy under Donald Trump.
