Democracy is under pressure from within and without. Illiberal leaders, disinformation, and authoritarian interference are testing institutions across Europe and North America, even as citizens mobilize to defend free and fair government. This hub is the gateway to analysis of democratic health: elections and their integrity, the rule of law and judicial independence, civil society and a free press, and the resilience of institutions against democratic backsliding. Fellows and analysts track the contest between democratic renewal and democratic backsliding, with close attention to Central and Eastern Europe, and assess what strengthens accountable government. Explore analysis and commentary on elections, the rule of law, civil society, and the defense of democracy.
