Please join CSIS on April 19 from 9:00-10:00 a.m. ET for the online launch of Charles Dunst’s new book, Defeating the Dictators: How Democracy Can Prevail in the Age of the Strongman.

This discussion will explore the new book’s key findings, including how democracies can stand up for liberal values by getting our own houses in order and what forward-leaning solutions there are for doing so, spanning issues like meritocracy and trust in government. Charles Dunst is the deputy director of research and analytics at The Asia Group and an adjunct fellow with the Southeast Asia Program at CSIS. He will be joined by Derek Mitchell, President of the National Democratic Institute and former U.S. Ambassador to Myanmar.

This event was made possible through general support to CSIS.
