Democracy’s next act: How to build resilience around the world

In a recent New York Times/Siena College Poll published October 27, 2024, a significant majority of Americans expressed grave concerns over the health of U.S. democracy. There are similar concerns and frustrations in democracies around the world. Responding to these concerns and taking steps to strengthen democracy is critical as political landscapes shift, polarization deepens, and challenges abound around the world.   

On December 4, join the Anti-Corruption, Democracy, and Security (ACDS) project at Brookings for an event to mark its first anniversary featuring a conversation between leading international experts who will discuss how to bolster democratic resilience, prevent democracies from backsliding, address increased political polarization, examine foreign threats, and restore people’s confidence in government around the world.
