Please join us for the Annual Janey Program Conference:<\/strong> No End of History: Crooked Circle of Democracy and Authoritarianism<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 25th 1974, after years of a brutal decolonization war, a group of left-wing officials of the Portuguese Army started a rebellion that caused the downfall of the Portuguese colonial and authoritarian regime. The Carnation revolution, as this rebellion is known today, inaugurated what has been described as the third democratization wave. This was followed by the collapse of military juntas, the end of authoritarian governments, and the fall of communist and apartheid regimes across Southern and Eastern Europe, Latin America, East Asia, and Southern Africa. This third wave, between 1974 and 2000, further cemented the idea of liberal democracies and multiculturalism as a predetermined destination for all modern societies. However, the last 25 years of resurgence of populist leaders, far right movements, ethno-nationalist parties, and anti-minority violence, challenged the wishful thinking of those that considered the democratizing effects of the wave permanent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will engage with the legacies of the third democratization wave and the new authoritarian turn across the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
