Democracies face rising autocratic threats. The framework by @jmvanlit @CarolienvanHam @MauritsMeijers and case studies of Senegal 🇸🇳 and Poland 🇵🇱 highlight how institutional elites and citizens defend against these trends. #Democracy #Autocratization doi.org/10.1080/13510347.202…
Drawing on the "community pantry" phenomenon in the Philippines 🇵🇭, @CeciliaPeLero finds evidence that apolitical civic engagement can be an effective, if limited, form of democratic resistance in autocratizing settings. doi.org/10.1080/13510347.202…
The debate on democracy in global media discourse indicates a set of common denominators. Yet, by relating democracy to everyday politics, media seems to legitimise any regime as democratic rather than being a beacon for liberal democracy. @StefanDahlberg
