In the last 15 years, the cause of democracy promotion around the world has been afflicted by what's come to be known as a democratic recession. To discuss what this means and why the idea of exporting Western democracy is problematic, we welcome University of Waterloo's Bessma Momani and Lucan Way; Crestview Strategy's Chad Rogers; and the Toronto Star's Martin Regg Cohn. This is another instalment of The Democracy Agenda, a joint initiative of TVO and the Toronto Star.
