Democracy fundamentally includes, and is more than the formal institutions that govern our democracy. It is the fabric of our civic life and the multiple areas that strengthen - or hinder - healthy democracies: from Media & Information and Rights & Justice to Polarization & Partisanship and Economic Inequality.
The following allows you to dive deeper into the issue areas that animate our democratic societies, and where Stanford has extensive expertise and opportunities.
