Key Insights
The rise of coups poses a substantial threat to democracy, challenging the prevailing narrative that democracy could be sacrificed for supposed good governance.
Narratives glorifying coup leaders as saviours perpetuate flawed perspectives, risking the appeal of strongman leadership over democratically elected governments.
It emphasizes the need for inclusive participation, protection for underrepresented groups, and breaking barriers in politics are essential to strengthen democratic institutions. Equally, we were keen to highlight successful programs like the Political Party Leadership Program (PPLI) and Luminate's commitment to removing barriers to inclusive participation.
