Conference Details
This engaging session will delve into the observations and insights of Alexis de Tocqueville, a French political thinker and historian, best known for his works "Democracy in America" (appearing in two volumes, 1835 and 1840).
In his seminal work, Tocqueville explored the effects of the rising equality of social conditions and the influence of democracy on the American society and governance.
This conference promises to offer a deep dive into the democratic principles that have shaped the United States, viewed through the lens of a French observer whose insights have remained relevant over the centuries. It's a unique opportunity to explore the interconnectedness of French and American perspectives on governance, society, and the enduring power of democracy.
We hope to see you all there!
