Defending Democracy: Lessons from Around the World is a unique program to help address current challenges to U.S. democracy, by learning from other countries’ experiences with democratic challenges and successes.

From 2017-2019 we convened 9 Democracy Dialogues and produced 12 case studies on specific democracy challenges in other countries that are relevant to American democracy reform today.

In 2020, we advised US domestic reformers, convened discussions and shared resources leading up to and beyond the US 2020 Election.

In 2021, we advised policymakers and partners on how to revive the US Open Government Partnership (OGP) process as a vehicle for democracy reform and on the Summit for Democracy.
