Read this email in your browser. The world is less free than it was 15 years ago. Across the globe, illiberal regimes, hybrid-democracies, and autocratic dictatorships have steadily eroded away democratic institutions, human rights, and popular sovereignty - with the steepest declines found across Eurasia and the Middle East. This rise of authoritarian regimes poses not only a significant security challenge to Europe and its periphery, but also a threat to liberal democracies everywhere.   Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and emboldened governments in Turkey, and Belarus, what can European democracies do to defend and strengthen democratic institutions and address security risks across the region?  And how can alliances be fortified  to address authoritarian trends manifesting elsewhere around the world?  Join Foreign Policy, in partnership with the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies on December 12, as we convene leaders, policymakers, and security experts for timely discussions on how to address this growing threat to Europe’s regional security, the danger posed to liberalism worldwide, and what can be done to strengthen democracies around the world. Register to hear from leaders and experts, including: Michael J. Abramowitz, President, Freedom House Timothy Garton Ash, Professor of European Studies, University of Oxford Tomi Huhtanen, Executive Director, Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies Dr. Alina Polyakova, President & CEO, Center for European Policy Analysis Reena Ninan, Founder, Good Trouble Productions Learn More ​​​Event Details: December 12, 2022 | Virtual 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. ET Visit our website for more details.   I look forward to seeing you online!
