Discussion Panel, Thursday March 1, 2012

The rapid modernization in Southeast Asia in the past two decades has come at a great cost. The rising tide of globalization has brought the prevalent increase in the use of technology and the ideals of western democracy to Southeast Asia. These Southeast Asian countries have been criticized for restricting its freedom of speech and for not being truly democratic. Is it right for countries to forsake freedom of speech in exchange for what they claim is political security? Join SEAL, SEASI and various Columbia professors to find out at:
