In a time when the health of democracy is a global concern, this report provides an analysis of the state of American democracy over the past decade. From the unprecedented democratic backsliding between 2017 and 2021, to the recent recovery in key democratic metrics, this study examines the complex interplay of Representation, Rights, Rule of Law, and Participation. 

Learn about the critical risks ahead of the 2024 elections and how systemic vulnerabilities might be addressed to safeguard the future of one of the world’s most influential democracies. Ideal for scholars, policymakers, and concerned citizens alike, this report offers a comprehensive and comparative perspective on the challenges and strengths of American democracy.
