Kleptocratic Cooperation in Africa: How Russia and China Undermine Democracy
Please join the International Forum for Democratic Studies, J.R. Mailey (Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime), Andrea Ngombet (Sassoufit Collective), and Jodi Vittori (Georgetown University) for a discussion on how two global authoritarian powers, Russia and China, provide surge capacity to kleptocratic networks in Africa, drawing on findings from a new report from the International Forum. Melissa Aten (International Forum for Democratic Studies) will moderate the discussion, Damon Wilson (NED) will offer introductory comments, and Eric Robinson (NED) will offer concluding remarks.
