EVENTS: Democracy in Europe may be established, but it is not stable – as the ongoing crises in Hungary, Greece and other countries demonstrate. Aleksander Kwasniewski (Polish president, 1995-2005) and Petr Pithart (Czech prime minister, 1990-92) will share their unique perspectives on recent events at a symposium entitled “The European Crisis: A View from Warsaw and Prague” at the University of Michigan. The Czech Republic and Poland are widely recognized for their accomplishments in the transition to electoral democracy and to free market economies in Europe.

PLACE: Rackham Amphitheatre, 0510 Rackham Building, 915 E. Washington Street, Ann Arbor.

SPONSORS: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies; International Policy Center.
