Russia’s war in Ukraine and the continuing spread of disinformation have brought renewed urgency to questions of governance, democracy, and global order. What strategies can democracies adopt to defend truth and strengthen institutions?

In this wide-ranging conversation, Harris Dean Ethan Bueno de Mesquita and LBS Dean Sergei Guriev, co-author of Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century, will examine the policy lessons emerging from Russia, Europe, and the United States, and reflect on what it means to lead a school in a moment when universities themselves face rising pressures to navigate political polarization and the need to prepare students for leadership in uncertain times.
