SUMMARY:Democracy and Human Rights vs. Authoritarianism Around the World | Foreign Policy in Practice Series
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Council on Global Affairs (@ChiCouncilFP) and Associated Colleges of the Midwest (@ACMedu) have joined together for a yearlong series on Foreign Policy in Practice. \nUkraine today represents the frontline of a global struggle between democracy and authoritarianism. How much should the US prioritize democracy and human rights promotion abroad? How can the US and its democratic allies help bolster democratic movements around the world without fostering instability? What foreign policy tools are available to help shore up democracy and human rights? And how does our foreign policy at times boost authoritarian regimes instead? Join our panel of experts who have worked on the front lines of US foreign policy on these very issues to hear about practical solutions and real challenges in promoting these values in our engagements around the world\, and why these issues matter to Americans here at home.  \nCLICK TO REGISTER \nPanelists\n\nKristine Berzina\, Senior Fellow at the German Marshall Fund’s Alliance for Securing Democracies  \nSteve Feldstein\, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\, previously Deputy Assistant Secretary for Democracy\, Human Rights\, and Labor at the U.S. State Department\nMarti Flacks\, Khosravi Chair in Principled Internationalism and Director of the Human Rights Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)\, previously Director of African Affairs at the National Security Council\nElizabeth Shackelford\, Senior Fellow\, US Foreign Policy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and former U.S. foreign service officer with the U.S. State Department\n\n\nAbout the Panelists\nKristine Berzina\nKristine Berzina is a senior fellow and head of the geopolitics team at the Alliance for Securing Democracy in GMF’s Washington\, D.C. office.
