Sustainable Democratic Renewal and Anti-Authoritarian Transformation - A Comprehensive Framework for Regenerative Democracy
Democratic Crisis Demands Transformative Action
Democracy faces unprecedented threats from authoritarian populism, economic inequality, and climate change. This comprehensive framework curated and published by Mark Durieux (Ph.D.) moves beyond traditional institutional reforms to embrace transformative practices rooted in community power.
The article explores how democratic backsliding has accelerated globally, with established democracies experiencing significant erosion. However, it also illuminates promising pathways forward through grassroots innovations already emerging worldwide.
Key strategies include community organizing as democratic infrastructure, participatory governance models like citizen assemblies and participatory budgeting, economic democracy through worker cooperatives, restorative justice approaches to heal divided communities, environmental democracy linking sustainability with self-governance, and intergenerational practices that center youth voices.
Rather than merely defending existing institutions, this framework presents an integrated approach addressing root causes while building robust, inclusive democratic practices. It offers concrete implementation strategies communities can adopt immediately while contributing to broader movements for democratic renewal.
The urgency of this moment demands transformative approaches that match the scale of contemporary challenges. Download the full article and audio podcast to discover actionable strategies for building regenerative democracy in your community.
