This Global Agenda is designed to focus attention on the constructive and concrete steps that different actors can take to respond to populism by strengthening democracy, in both established democracies and countries where democracy is less deeply entrenched.

After a shared economy, a shared democracy
Some will remember with nostalgia, the time when democracy was about casting your vote for elections every four to five years. When becoming a politician was a career choice and when party membership defined your political alignment. Those times may soon be over.
Politics seems too important to be confined to the hands of politicians alone. Today, people power can be a click or like away. Participation and representation are catching up with the times. Are our traditional political intermediaries keeping up?
We work with democracy practitioners
and institutions spanning the globe
