DESCRIPTION:Authoritarian leaders around the world are exploiting the coron
 avirus pandemic to concentrate powers\, restrict civil liberties\, weaken o
 pposition rights\, and undermine democratic checks and balances. Fighting t
 he “invisible enemy” requires emergency powers\, they argue\, and democrati
 c safeguards—including judicial oversight\, open elections\, and freedom of
  the press—hinder a government’s effective response to the growing public h
 ealth crisis.  \n\nJoin regional experts from the Einaudi Center—all facult
 y in Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences—as we discuss government respon
 ses to the pandemic and their implications for democratic rule\, including 
 new developments in Africa\, Europe\, Southeast Asia\, and Latin America.\n
 \nThe webinar is hosted by Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies a
 nd the Institute of Politics and Global Affairs\, part of Global Cornell.\n
