Democracy Talk #18 with Petra Schleiter: Can Business Save Democracy? Corporate Citizenship in an Age of Backsliding

Democracy Talk

As democracies face polarization and erosion, businesses are increasingly drawn into political and societal debates. What is the role of business in a democracy? Should businesses defend democratic values, and when do they do so? We will discuss these and other questions with Petra Schleiter, Professor of Comparative Politics at the University of Oxford and Director of Oxford's Centre for Democratic Resilience. This talk explores the opportunities, risks, and responsibilities of corporate citizenship in turbulent democratic times.
