In this edition of the Democracy Lighthouse Digest, Debasish Roy Chowdhury examines the emergence of transnational far-right alliances and discusses what this means for democracy. Pedro Aibéo, the founder of our partner organisation Architectural Democracy, looks at the relationship between democracy and urban spaces. This edition also includes the latest book – Demagogues and Despots – from Democracy Lighthouse’s own, Professor John Keane. It concludes with a piece from Wolfgang Merkel which argues that the time for democratic resilience is now.
