Recent events have many of us wondering whether we are in a period of global democratic regression as democracies around the world embrace populist and/or autocratic leaders. Following the 2018 Salvadoran municipal elections on March 4th, this seminar will examine this trend and analyze the causes and effects of this regression. How can democracies be tools for ensuring participation and respect for human rights? Where do they fall short? How can the human rights approach inform our political system?
What to expect: • Learn about human rights and analyze democracy as a means of participation • Examine the factors that contribute to the global trend of democratic regression • Discuss ways to build the capacity for government systems to respect, protect and fulfill
human rights • Develop tools to ensure the respect of human rights in democratic elections and beyond
Registration Deadline: Dec 5, 2017
Cost: $970
