🎄 PDY will be closed for the festive period.
We look forward to resuming in the New Year 🎆 . Warm wishes to our authors, reviewers, and readers.
The year 2024 confirmed a global environment defined by:
↔️ pronounced political fragmentation
🗳️ heightened electoral activity
📈 + a deepening wave of autocratisation that continued a 25-year trajectory.
