Across the globe, in multiple nation-states, citizens are engaged in uprisings, protests, and insurrections. The role of states, public safety, the rule of law, and the fundamentals of justice are tested constantly. Some insurrections seek to subvert democracy while others pursue democratic ideals. The global balance of power, geopolitically, is tilting in uncertain and unpredictable directions. As such, we need to analyze and examine how Democracy fares against Autocracy in the world today. At the same time, we must consider how we as citizens assume responsibility in advancing freedom locally, nationally, and globally. For more information, contact Professor Paul N.
