Dear John,
At the end of March 2023, the Biden administration will play cohost to a second Summit for Democracy along with its Costa Rican, Dutch, South Korean, and Zambian counterparts.
The 2021 Summit for Democracy was held as the world’s citizens suffered a lengthening democratic decline, but it also allowed participating governments to make clear goals and commitments in democracy’s defense.
While these Summits alone cannot be the decisive events that reverse the tide of resurgent authoritarianism, democratic governments should capitalize on the momentum of the last year and roll up their sleeves.
