Inequality has long been theorized to be a scourge on the vitality of democratic societies. Beyond rising levels of economic inequalities recently experienced by many countries, there exist many deep-rooted political and social inequalities that may undermine democratic politics or aid political entrepreneurs leading undemocratic movements to capitalize upon. This roundtable introduces a recently edited volume, Unequal Democracies, that helps untangle the complex relationship between contemporary democracies and inequality along a variety of economic, political, and social dimensions.
Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
