Date: 2018-05-28

The TFD today held the “Defending Democracy: Combating Authoritarian Corrosion” Symposium at the Howard Civil Service International House. The conference discussed what revisionist regimes have been up to in recent years through an exchange between leaders who have spearheaded efforts in their home countries to awaken citizens and governments to the external challenges to democracies. Welcoming remarks were delivered by Taiwan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs François Chih-Chung Wu, and guest speakers included Princeton University Politics and International Affairs Professor Aaron Friedberg, University of Canterbury Political Science Professor Anne-Marie Brady, Former Fairfax Media China Correspondent John Garnaut, National Endowment for Democracy International Forum for Democratic Studies Director Shanthi Kalathil, Academia Sinica Institute of Sociology Associate Research Fellow Jieh-min Wu, and Taiwan Sentinel Chief Editor J.
