Some key democracies facing democratic decay have elections scheduled for 2024, which could restore faith in democratization and democratic consolidation. The current year is ending, with many parts of the world facing recession, economic turmoil, rising prices, and greater than before unemployment. Driving global insecurity and instability is the explosive combination of extremism, radical nationalism, and the erosion of democracy. It is important to acknowledge these challenges and harness the emerging opportunities to create a more stable, just, and sustainable world. Addressing the issues of extremism, nationalism, and the erosion of democratic values requires a multi-faceted approach involving governments, civil society, and international organizations.
