To renew democracy, study it holistically.
Draw on five sources: individual people, groups, non-textual media, texts, and non-humans.
Do this across cultures, languages, and species to uncover unfamiliar practices beyond Western views.

Brief & worth reading on the importance of differentiating anti-autocracy resistance from the political status quo that enabled autocracy to gain a foothold in the first place. That is, we can't defend democracy without also renewing democracy. #democracy #democraticrenewal #resistance
Read this & pay attention to the lessons learned by Hungarian activists in their failure to stop Orbán's takeover.
It's chilling to realize in the US we are making many of the same mistakes!

Preserving the status quo won't cut it in times of upheaval & disruption: the EU's hedgehog approach to #democracy is a problem externally but also internally. The strategy is only to shield & preserve what exists, rather than to build on it, expand, innovate, renew. #democraticrenewal

The 'hedgehog' approach of mainly trying to shield the EU against authoritarian influences from abroad also falls short because many authoritarian influences come from within. A hedgehog is no match f...

2/3 This raises the question: Do we need to FIRST safeguard and stabilize democracy as a precondition for #democraticrenewal or is the current fragility of democracy the most fertile ground for its renewal? Thoughts anyone?
