ashington, DC — September 16, 2024: On the occasion of the International Day of Democracy, Diplomatic Courier and World in 2050 announce the “Rethinking Democratic Resilience Amid Polycrisis” report. This World in 2050 (W2050) report presents and analyzes outcomes from collective intelligence exercises at the Future of Democracy Forum (FOD) on the eve of the 2024 NATO Leaders’ Summit on July 8. Participants were asked to identify contemporary challenges to democracy and categorize them on the basis of these questions:
- Does this challenge arise from internal or external factors (or both)?
- How severe an impact could this challenge have on democratic institutions?
- How likely is that threat to be realized?
The Future of Democracy Forum is Diplomatic Courier’s innovation lab and high-level dialogue examining the health and future of democracy and democratic institutions by exploring the question: Is democracy in decline or under attack? Hosted in partnership with the permanent secretariat of the Community of Democracies (CoD), attendees worked in groups carefully curated to ensure maximum diversity of experience and perspective. Groups included youth, ambassadors, former government officials, private sector leaders, entrepreneurs, and military veterans.
FOD attendees mapped what they considered to be challenges to democracy on a four–quadrant grid. Participants also indicated whether they considered this an internal challenge, one within our societies and democratic institutions, or whether it arises externally, one outside of our societies and institutions. After FOD, World in 2050 staff collated those findings to pull out more connections and trends. Furthering that theme, the report also includes a mini–digital exhibition—curated with International Arts & Artists—reflecting on democracy at a crossroads, with artist commentary.

The Future of Democracy Forum was hosted by Community of Democracies and Diplomatic Courier. Convening partners included the Center for International Private Enterprise, the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, International Art & Artists, and William & Mary's Whole of Government Center of Excellence.
