The Miami Conference on Global Democracy, presented by the Steven J. Green School of International & Public Affairs on April 18, 2024, explored the phenomenon of contemporary democratic backsliding. The school dedicates this annual day of learning to deepening our understanding of the underlying causes, motivations and methods that contribute to the erosion of democracy throughout the world.
The mission of the Green School is to prepare students to be citizens of the world, supporters of democratic principles and changemakers of tomorrow. The school’s leaders believe that the best hope for strengthening democracy is to grapple with and understand the challenges democracy is facing.
