"The State of U.S Democracy and the Implications for the World"

The Honorable Charles C. Adams, Jr., former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Republic of Finland (2015-2017)

In his speech, “The State of U.S. Democracy and the Implications for the World,” former Ambassador Charles Adams will examine the current challenges and resilience of American democracy in an era of polarization, disinformation, and shifting global influence.

He will explore how the health of U.S. democratic institutions impacts international stability, alliances, and the global perception of liberal values.

Drawing on his diplomatic experience, Ambassador Adams will highlight the urgent need for civic renewal at home and renewed commitment abroad to the principles that have long underpinned the democratic order.
