Citizenship in Times of Intersecting Crises and Democratic Decline

Abstract

Democracies around the globe are increasingly affected by intersecting crises such as conflict, climate change, political polarization and misinformation. Technological advances contribute to some of these crises, putting the strength and stability of democracies at risk. These changes necessitate a re-evaluation of fundamental concepts of liberal democracy, nation-state and citizenship. This panel brings together a range of papers that seek to understand the current and future risks associated with these crises. It explores changing boundaries that delineate public and private, as well as local, national and global spaces of citizen interaction. Panel papers identify the potential changes to norms and practices of citizenship and discuss the skill sets, norms and practices necessary to preserve and strengthen citizen agency and safeguard democracy.
