“From Development to Democracy: The Transformation of Modern Asia” -Dr. Dan Slater

Why have some Asian countries become more democratic as they have grown richer, while others—most notably China—haven’t? At UBC Political Science's COMP-CAN Colloquium hosted on January 11, Dr. Dan Slater offered a sweeping and original answer to this crucial question in his lecture titled, “From Development to Democracy: The Transformations of Modern Asia.”

This event was sponsored by the Department of Political Science and the the Konwakai Chair in Japanese Research.
