This report seizes the present moment of social, economic, and political crisis to question and challenge some of the dominant narratives that shape current thinking about politics. Specifically, it focuses on promising democratic innovations in three arenas: human rights-based approaches to democratization, welfare, and development; participatory governance; and economic citizenship. We focus on developments in these fields to stress their shared objectives.
