Presented by: 聽Professor Jonathan Hiskey
Since Aristotle, scholars have long searched for connections between a society-聙聶s political system and its chances for sustainable and equitable development. As the -聙聹third wave of democracy-聙聺 has spread throughout the developing world over the past three decades, efforts to understand the possible contributions of democratic regimes on development have increased, but are confronted with the highly successful development model of the decidedly undemocratic Chinese political regime. In this fireside chat, we will explore the various opportunities and obstacles that a country-聙聶s political system may pose for its economic and human development prospects.
When: Thursday, November 14th at 7 p.m.
