Challenges Facing the Present and Future of Democracy

The topic was "What are the Challenges Facing the Present and Future of Democracy", where we discussed on not just what these challenges are for democracies, but also why these challenges matter. We hope to then follow this up with a discussion about to what extent these challenges should be considered and, if so, how they might be addressed effectively in democracy reform efforts.
