Research Programme
DEMOCRACY.
The democratic challenge interrelates with all others. Digitalisation, the need to control the effects of climate change, and the urbanisation and internationalisation of governance beg new questions of our democratic systems. The various Democracy programmes at 89 Initiative seek to address their implications for democracy from different angles.
