The panel will discuss the lessons left by democratic social movements in Portugal, Italy, and Chile and analyze the way they have opened up autocratic regimes and paved the way for democratic transitions. Besides Tiago Carvalho, Cornell University professors Sidney Tarrow and Ken Roberts will participate in the debate, while Rachel Beatty Riedl, also a professor at the university, will moderate the discussion.
