This talk will look at the international politics of the post-Cold War wave of democratization around the world, and the more recent reverse wave that has led to an increasing number of authoritarian regimes globally. It will focus most intently on the role of the United States in shaping these global trends and will speculate about possible future trends in the context of the upcoming elections in the United States.
