Francis Fukuyama, Director, Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law
Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford University
A political economist, Fukuyama will discuss the rise of interest groups and the polarization of the two dominant political parties in the United States. He defines vetocracy as an unbalanced form of government where it is easier to stop or veto things from happening than it is to agree on policies intended to promote the common good.
