Rebuilding Common Ground: An Agenda for 21st Century Democratic Health and Resilience
Countries at widely varying levels of development, with very different histories, are grappling with the breakdown of common ground in politics, leading to falling trust, lower citizen engagement in politics, shrinking civic space, rising autocratisation, and increasing political polarisation.
