Democracy Now: Increased political participation could breathe life into ailing democracies
Globalisation and technology have seemingly centralised power in supranational organisations like the EU, global financial markets and multinational corporations. While spreading the tentacles of capitalism around the world, these bodies have also centralised control in powerhouse cities such as London.
Now in charge or influential in a growing number of countries, populists are attacking civil liberties such as the right to free speech and a free press, as well as displaying autocratic tendencies. Each year, The Economist Intelligence Unit ranks countries around the world in its Democracy Index. In the past decade, no scores have deteriorated more than those related to freedom of expression and the presence of free print and electronic media.
"One of the hallmarks of modern political discourse across the democratic world has been a rise in the attempts by the executive branches to extend its powers—some way beyond what has been tolerated in the post-war era,” Libson says. “The courts, lawyers and their clients have an increasingly important role in ensuring that, as politics recalibrates, principles of the Rule of Law, separation of powers and counterbalancing protections between our organs of power are all upheld and protected.
