Democracy International had organised the weekend event in partnership with its German partner organisation Mehr Demokratie. Speakers from North Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe presented their views on whether democracy is progressing in those parts of the world or whether democracy is stagnating or possibly even deteriorating. The debate on Sunday focussed on the question of how free trade can become democratic and how to solve the democratic deficit of the EU.
