Salzburg Global Seminar: Polarization and Violent Threats to Democratic Systems
HFG has launched a three-year project with Salzburg Global Seminar to explore violent threats to democracy worldwide. Polarization and Violent Threats to Democratic Systems: Assessing the Threats and What We Can Do About Them aims to develop a network of researchers and stakeholders examining rising polarization and political violence; define objectives for shaping a new research agenda on the rise of polarization and political violence; understand how to assess escalating threats; and posit recommendations for addressing threats effectively.
