Abstract

The APSA Task Force on Democracy, Economic Security, and Social Justice in a Volatile World has released its report Democratic Imperatives Democracy, Economic Security, and Social Justice in a Volatile World. The report argues that in emerging and established democracies alike, the promise of democracy remains unfulfilled. The report focuses on policies and institutions designed to deepen democracy by increasing respect for human rights, promoting participatory governance, and se-curing the economic bases of democratic citizenship. It documents how these measures can help to reduce democratic deficits by making government and politics more responsive, more accountable, and more transparent and by enabling citizens to take a greater role in governing themselves.
