What's next in Democracy? The Ukraine/Russia war has given me painful reason to think more about the larger context of my main 2022 topic, The Good Future see http://www.goodfuture.live While autocrats seem hell-bent on destroying stability and ending the long-lasting peace in Europe, democracy is apparently in decline for the last decade, globally (read the Freedom House report). Where is this going? How can we rekindle democracy and fix what is lagging? What's wrong with how we design and implement democracy, right now? And what's the role of technology (like social media) in all this? In my view, a Good Future is almost synonymous with Democracy - so this is a very big topic for me.
