Mission

Through a combination of research and analysis, training and support, and active campaigning, the Democracy Center works internationally to strengthen struggles for social, economic and environmental justice.

Research and Analysis

Using solid, fact-based, work, we aim to unmask the sources of power that generate social and environmental injustice and to promote a deeper set of conversations about the structural causes of the manifold crises that the world currently faces. One of our major priorities is to deepen public understanding of how unbound corporate power drives a development model that undermines real democracy with devastating social, economic and environmental consequences.
