In 2024, autocracies outnumbered democracies worldwide for the first time in over two decades. Nearly 40% of the global population now lives in countries experiencing “democratic backsliding,” or the state-led weakening of institutions, structures or norms that support democracy.
The CWC’s investor webinar brings together investor and academic speakers to explore what this trend means for investors and how weakening democratic institutions can shape long-term investment risk.
This webinar was recorded on May 20, 2026.
