Incredible discussion at yesterday's panel co-hosted by @ndidemocracy.bsky.social. Thank you to Tamara Cofman Wittes @tcwittes.bsky.social, Tom Carothers, Danny Choi @dhdannychoi.bsky.social, Agustina Giraudy, and all who joined to explore 2025 global trends in resisting democratic erosion!

So happy to see this out! We caution against excessive optimism that the opposition will restore countries back to their democratic trajectories after electoral victory. Weakened institutions and the memory of repression makes it tempting to continue rather than buck the trend of autocratization.
