Undoing the Liberal World Order: Progressive Ideals and Political Realities Since World War II [[link removed]]Monday, March 14 // 4–5:30 p.m. (ET)
Using a series of case studies from the reconstruction of post-war West Germany to the struggle against apartheid, Fink shows how American liberals joined global allies in pursuit of an expansive democratic vision. Even as liberal internationalism enjoyed some significant success, it also stumbled against both domestic opponents and its own blindness to contradictions in capitalist development and the limits of national political solutions. Today’s progressive policy makers, he suggests, would do well to apply these lessons.

Academic Freedom Under Attack: Authoritarian Regimes and the Battle for Knowledge [[link removed]]Friday, March 18 // 9–10:15 a.m. (ET)
When discussions turn to the rise of authoritarianism, crackdowns on the press or the judiciary are usually front and center. Equally under threat though, is academic freedom. In a healthy democracy, academics have the freedom to research, teach, and act as a corrective to societies, governments, and institutions, which are supposed to protect them. Join the Wilson Center for a conversation on the effects academic repression has on universities and society, and how academics are pushing back.
