Welcome to Democracy Minute, a series of videos which explores the research and opinion of our faculty and students on a variety of issues related to elections, human rights, and governance in countries and regions across the world. In these short videos which we will be releasing over the next few years, we question the in-house experts of the Democracy and Governance Program on recent geopolitical events, and they provide us with the background of the phenomenon, its implications, and potential future developments. Democracy Minute is a perfect way to stay up to date with the pulse of international politics and democratization, as well as the cutting edge work of our MA program.
