 thoritarianism
DESCRIPTION:ZOOM.\n\n\n\n\n\nA Crown Seminar with Lisa Wedeen Can the survi
 val of Bashar al-Asad's regime in Syria offer insights into emerging forms
  of authoritarianism in the West? And what might the Syrian example sugges
 t about how authoritarian leaders exploit digital media to create uncertai
 nty\, political impasses\, and fractures among their citizens? In this Cro
 wn Seminar\, Lisa Wedeen\, in conversation with Daniel Neep\, draws on the
  ethnographic and theoretical findings of her book\, Authoritarian Apprehe
 nsions: Ideology\, Judgment\, and Mourning in Syria (Chicago 2019)\, to re
 flect on lessons from the Syrian experience for the current attractions of
  authoritarianism in the United States. Lisa Wedeen is the Mary R. Morton 
 Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science and the College and c
 o-director of the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory at the University
  of Chicago. Daniel Neep teaches Middle East politics at the Elliott Schoo
 l of International Affairs at George Washington University and is a non-re
 sident fellow at the Crown Center. This seminar is online\, free\, and ope
 n to the public. Registration is required. Hosted by the Crown Center for
