Around the world, democratic principles and values are under threat. But be it the rise of populism or democratic rollback, these challenges are not going unmet. As highlighted in The Governance Report 2017, an active search is underway for innovative responses that address democratic malaise, foster democratic resilience, and stimulate the (re-)consolidation of democratic regimes. Which of these actually enhance citizen participation or improve democratic institutions? What works where? What are the trade-offs? How can policy-makers and citizens make sense of them?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
