Broad, diverse coalitions have proven vital in advancing democracy, resisting authoritarianism, and protecting rights worldwide. Drawing on scholarly research and case studies from regions including Latin America and the Middle East, this discussion highlights both the successes and challenges of coalition formation. The conversation will draw out lessons for the United States today, pointing to concrete strategies for strengthening democratic resilience.

The Democracy in Dialogue Series enables Notre Dame students to engage with expert guest speakers on key issues facing global democracy. These monthly discussions aim to help students develop as global citizens and comparative scholars, explore threats to democracy, learn from international examples, consider actions to defend democracy, examine Catholic perspectives, and discuss overcoming polarization. The series also helps students build professional networks in international politics.
