The 4th edition of the Focus on the Global South Newsletter tackles the issue of democracy in Asia and its different facets–elections, constitutions, (extreme) nationalism, populism, majoritarian rule, and press freedom.
Why democracy? As our editorial says: “Across South and Southeast Asia, concepts of democracy, justice, and human rights are facing contestation, re-interpretation, and selective application.”
Through this edition of the newsletter, we hope to contribute not only to discourse but also to the shaping of solutions and alternatives.
