World in Focus: Global Responses to Trump

January 27, 2026

4:00 pm

Uris Hall, G08

Join Einaudi Center experts for World in Focus Talks on global events in the news and on your mind. Our faculty's research and policy insights put the world in focus.

This year we’re hosting informal campus discussions on many Tuesday afternoons. This week’s topic:

The United States helped create the United Nations to protect the sovereignty of independent countries. Now the Trump administration is setting the tone for superpowers with imperial ambitions by waging economic war against democratic allies, violating long-standing treaties, and holding out the possibility of using military force.

What do these unprecedented actions mean for the rest of the world? How are states and peoples in different regions responding? And what may happen if tensions continue to escalate?

Global Challenges to Democracy: Comparative Perspectives on Backsliding, Autocracy, and Resilience

Global Challenges to Democracy Book Cover

Author: Valerie J. Bunce (editor), Thomas B. Pepinsky, Rachel Beatty Riedl, Kenneth M. Roberts

By Our Faculty

Following democracy's global advance in the late 20th century, recent patterns of democratic erosion or 'backsliding' have generated extensive scholarly debate. Backsliding towards autocracy is often the work of elected leaders operating within democratic institutions, challenging conventional thinking about the logic of democratic consolidation, the enforcement of institutional checks and balances, and the development and reproduction of democratic norms.
