2017 – Dilemmas of Democracy: Challenges to the International Order

Canada-UK Colloquium, November 16-18, 2017, Surrey, UK

Traditional democratic structures are under strain not least from new technologies, so there is an urgent need to reinforce their potential for good. Two main kinds of recommendations were identified at the 2017 Canada-Uk Colloquium: first, those suggesting immediate joint engagement between our two countries; and second, those suggesting sharing of
experience.
