Reimagining Democracy: New Partnerships Tackle Global Challenges to Democratic Futures
The Center for Emerging Democracies teams up with democracy-focused groups at the Brookings Institution, Cornell, and Vanderbilt.
The Center for Emerging Democracies (@umichDemocracy) promotes engaged public interdisciplinary scholarship to better understand the conditions and policies that foster worldwide transitions from autocratic rule and the deepening of democratic governance – in the past, present, and future. Emerging Democracies has been housed in the International Institute at the University of Michigan since 2008, making us one of the world’s longest-established centers for the study and advancement of democracy.
