Bureaucratic Resistance to Global Autocratic Ambitions

Join the UChicago Center for Effective Government and the Chicago Center on Democracy on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, from 9:00am to 12:00pm CDT for a set of virtual panel discussions with scholars and practitioners about the prospects of bureaucratic resistance to populism across the globe. This is a follow-up event to a U.S.-focused discussion we held in May 2021; this conversation will focus on Eastern Europe, Latin America, and global lessons. In these panels, we will take stock of the condition of federal bureaucracies in the context of authoritarian rule, and we will discuss the norms, rules, and practices that guard against the populist attacks on the administrative state.
