What happened to democracy in 2020 - and what comes next? What local dynamics are worth paying attention to? And what is the bigger picture in the fight for a socially and economically inclusive democracy around the world?

These contributions discuss a range of topics relating to Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, the US and UK - from the fate of revolutions and war to the impact of the US elections on the global democracy project and fallout from Brexit.
