Last week’s Russia-Africa summit brought together 49 countries and featured 150 bilateral agreements.

But not all Russia-Africa initiatives have brought the prosperity they allegedly set out to achieve. Earlier this year, @CooleyOnEurasia and @Chivucute analyzed how Russia’s actions across the continent have propped up military regimes and elites at the expense of everyday citizens.

thinkdemocracy.substack.com Fresh Perspectives on the Russia-Africa Summit Recent Forum report authors Alex Cooley and Florindo Chivucute highlight the summit’s implications for transnational authoritarian influence

Every day, democracies are tested by authoritarianism. However, today’s moment is different. As China and Russia expand their authoritarian influence around the world, democratic institutions and civic leaders face mounting pressure and a more permissive international environment.

The Forum at @NEDemocracy convened leading experts to launch its new report, Testing the Limits: China and Russia’s Authoritarian Influence at Scale in a New Period of Impunity.

Speakers, including @DamonMacWilson, @KSheives, Caroline Costello, @CooleyonEurasia, @DiploSikh, Miriam Lanskoy, @Chivucute, @Williamnee, and Cassandra Emmons examined the growing challenges confronting pro-democracy actors worldwide, and how advocates can anticipate emerging challenges, strengthen resilience, and develop effective response strategies.
