Weltweit geraten Grundrechte unter Druck. In Deutschland, in Europa, in den USA.

⚠️ Die Frage lautet nicht mehr, ob die Demokratie verteidigt werden muss – sondern wie.

The global crisis of democracy is dominating the headlines. While this is indeed alarming, it does not mean that all hope for democracy is lost.
In our study, Monika Onken and I found that redemocratisation — that is, the recovery of democracy after a crisis — is happening around the world.

The expansion of executive power is a key element of #DemocraticErosion. What happens when power becomes concentrated in the hands of one leader? What role did the pandemic play in this global trend?

And Justice Sotomayor remains one of only two voices on the "Court" who consistently show us what "speaking truth to power" looks like. Unfortunately, as an institution the SCOTUS instead seems intent to remind us daily what "faustian bargains" look like
