The 63rd Annual Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference
NAFAC Theme Overview
Democracies Divided: The Proliferation of Polarization
The conference aims to explore the internal divisions of democracies around the world, as well as divisions between democratic countries. Furthermore, we will discuss how authoritarian states are seeking to weaponize polarization in order to fracture democracies and undermine their relationships with one another.
NAFAC Mission Statement
