Columbia University is partnering with the Obama Foundation and the University of Chicago to convene the Democracy Forum, which will touch further on themes that President Obama laid out in a recent speech at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, including the importance of pluralism, inclusive capitalism, a healthy information environment, and building trust in institutions through making government work for its citizens.
