Rising Global Autocracy and its Impact on New Zealand

An expert panel discussion and Q&A co-hosted by the New Zealand Institute of International Affairs and the University of Auckland’s Global Studies Programme.

Amid a widespread global democratic recession, authoritarianism is increasing across the world. The world’s most powerful countries are amongst those constraining human rights, the rule of law and democratic practices, including the United States, India, China and Russia. Such behaviour is making these tendencies more prevalent across the world, which has consequences for all countries, including democracies such as New Zealand.

Join us for an expert panel discussion on the global rise of autocracies, its effects on New Zealand and how citizens and societies can respond.
