Digital Democracy: Accelerating A New Field Of Knowledge

Donald Trump’s Costly Legacy
“Donald Trump’s presidency has been a consequential one, but more for its destructive effects than for its achievements. The damage caused by repeated attacks on American democracy, an inept pandemic response, and disruptive foreign-policy decisions will be difficult – if not impossible – to repair anytime soon” (Richard Haass, 2021).

Youth Democracy, Human Rights & Governance Cross-Sectoral Initiative
