Welcome

Welcome to the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

The Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies promotes scholarship to better understand the conditions and policies facilitating historical, contemporary, and prospective transformations from authoritarian rule to democracies with more robust economies and vital civil societies. It also educates new generations of practitioners who can apply their learning and experience to help extend freedom. Initially focusing on transitions in Europe and Eurasia, it will subsequently expand its scope to other emerging democracies across the globe.

Inaugurated in 2008, WCED works alongside the Center for European Studies-European Union Center and Center for Russian and East European Studies and in association with the Ronald and Eileen Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.
