Rethinking Our Democracy Essay Series 

Creative Ideas for Reforming the Federal Government

From COVID-19 recovery to infrastructure to voting rights, the 117th U.S. Congress has been dominated by sweeping legislation and ambitious reform proposals. But it also brings a critical opportunity to refine, improve, and strengthen the mechanics through which national policy and services are implemented in our democracy—namely, the federal bureaucracy.

This "Rethinking Our Democracy" series, presented by Protect Democracy, the University of Chicago Center for Effective Government, and the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage blog, analyzes the many challenges facing the federal workforce and administrative state. In these essays, ten of our country's top academic and practitioner experts not only diagnose the state of the problem, but also begin to explore creative and sustainable paths to reforming and strengthening the complex government apparatus at the heart of our democracy.

In ‘Rethinking Our Democracy’—a joint initiative between Protect Democracy and the University of Chicago Center for Effective Government —we present, refine, and develop momentum for reforms that focus on key institutions that govern our national leadership and policy-making.

In partnership with the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage blog, we publish multi-essay explanatory series discussing reform proposals and new legislative ideas to strengthen democratic institutions and make the case for broad reforms. In addition to written pieces, we convene series authors, key advocates, and partners to discuss the merits of these reforms and the optimal strategies for their advancement.
