Why do authoritarian states survive?

Marina Nord, postdoctoral researcher at the Varieties of Democracy Institute at the University of Gothenburg and author of the Democracy Report 2025, gives a lecture on the global decline of democracy and how different regimes change. Why is democracy weakening, and can autocratization be stopped—or even reversed?

At 19:00, there will be a discussion and Q&A session with local politicians. Moderator: Ingemar Lönnbom. Organizer: Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan Blekinge.
The lecture is held in collaboration with Folkuniversitetet and with support from the Folkuniversitetsföreningen.

Note: The lecture will be held in English.

Where: Karlskrona stadsbibliotek, hörsalen
