The International Forum for Democratic Studies and the National Endowment for Democracy host leading democratic scholars for a conversation on the impact of Larry Diamond’s analysis on the study of democracy with the Journal of Democracy coeditors.

As part of the event, the International Forum and the NED will feature a critical discussion on how democratic coalitions and solidarity can combat the threat of modern challenges to democracy, such as global authoritarian influence and threats to the integrity of the information space. As part of this event, the NED will also honor Larry Diamond with the Democracy Service Medal in acknowledgment of his many achievements and contributions to the advancement of democracy and human rights.
