Democracy is said to be at risk in many parts of the world. What about in Asia? Are democracies in Asia advancing or backsliding? Are Asian autocracies becoming more democratic, or strengthening their grip? What factors contribute to changes being observed? What interventions are possible to protect people from undesirable political development? This one-day international symposium brings together academics and practitioners from various parts of the world to explore these and other related issues. This event coincides with the launch of the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Regional Center for East Asia.
