Futures of Democracy & Governance

Written By Mathias Behn Bjørnhof

Power, participation, and public institutions in a changing world.

From new civic movements to digital authoritarianism, we track the shifting foundations of how societies govern themselves. This theme looks at legitimacy, institutions, global governance, rights, and public decision-making. As political systems are tested by complexity, polarization, and new technologies, we ask: who gets to decide, and how?

• Civic capacity & democratic innovation
• Trust, legitimacy & polarization
• Rights, law & constitutional shifts
• Global governance & geopolitical fragmentation
• Digital governance & algorithmic regulation
• Participation, protest & civic tech
