Across the globe, we are witnessing a democratic decline, including worrying signs of democratic retreat here at home. Elected autocrats are fine tuning their playbook in countries as diverse as Venezuela and Hungary. What is leading to this rise in global authoritarianism and how can democracies combat it? This week, Debra Perlin speaks with Michael Abramowitz, president of Freedom House, about these and other questions about the state of democracy around the world.
