State of Democracy in Asia and the Pacific Report Launch

Описание: In Asia and the Pacific, the Covid-19 pandemic tended to exacerbate pre-existing trends in democratic performance, revealing both institutional and societal strengths and weaknesses.

International IDEA will launch its “State of Democracy in Asia and the Pacific: Old Resilience, New Challenges” Report on 24 November. The Report provides incisive and relevant data, analysis and policy guidance on the challenges and opportunities to democratisation in Asia and the Pacific – covering the region from Central Asia to Oceania - and is designed to inform, influence, and help shape the agenda for the future of democracy.
