Invisible Nation: How to Fight Authoritarianism. Disinformation, repression, and geopolitical influence are spreading rapidly. Regimes like Russia, China, and Iran exploit media and control resources, trade, and social networks. They coordinate across strategic areas of vulnerability, while democracies compartmentalize foreign policy by region or issue. Furthermore, autocracies’ tools: corruption, kleptocracy and disinformation work in a system where oligarchs use Western legal/financial systems to launder money and buy influence. These tactics destabilize democracies from within, fueling far-right populism, xenophobia, structural racism, and white and male supremacy. INVISIBLE NATION shows practical and effective strategies used in Taiwan for pushing back against authoritarian influence from coalition building, and the role of civil society, and social justice, to how international alliances can support nations on the frontlines of defense against authoritarianism. The speakers will be announced soon.

About Invisible Nation: Unprecedented access to Taiwan’s first female president, Tsai Ing-wen, centers this portrait of the constantly colonized island, as it struggles to preserve its hard-won democracy, autonomy, and freedom from fear of authoritarian aggression. Thorough, incisive, and bristling with tension, Invisible Nation is a living account of Tsai’s tightrope walk as she balances the hopes and dreams of her nation between the colossal geopolitical forces of the U.S. and China. Invisible Nation captures Tsai at work in her country’s vibrant democracy, while seeking full international recognition of Taiwan’s right to exist. At a time when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated the ever-present threat of authoritarian aggression around the world, Invisible Nation brings a punctual focus to the struggles of Taiwan.
