Emerging Democracy Roundtable. Gen Z Protests in the Global South: Why this Wave?

Over the past two years, low- and middle-income countries have been rocked by what appears to be a new wave of so-called "Gen Z" protests. Why have these dramatic and apparently leaderless protests emerged now? Are protesters responding mainly to worsening economic conditions, or are there other sources of social discontent? This roundtable will discuss the drivers of increased Gen Z protest, focusing on whether recent protests share common causes.
