The Center for the Study of Liberal Democracy is a new center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Founded in the fall of 2006 by a core group of Madison faculty members with a diversity of perspectives, the Center’s main objective is to probe the nature and prospects of liberal democracy and its core principles, practices, and institutions. The Center intends to promote the investigation of arguments for and against liberal principles and institutions, as well as the study of texts written by exponents and critics of the liberal tradition. Programs will include speakers, conferences, and student fellowships designed to pursue these broader themes. For a more specific statement of purpose, go to Mission Statement of the Wisconsin Center for the Study of Liberal Democracy.
