About Democracy Without Borders

We strive for a democratic world order

An integrated approach

Democracy Without Borders advocates demo­cracy as a human right that spans across all levels, from the local to the global, and includes the dimensions of representation, participation and deliberation. 

A unique focus to create momentum

Based on a Theory of Change, Democracy Without Borders promotes global democracy, global governance and global citizenship. Progress in these areas is mutually reinforcing and we look at their intersections.

Democracy Without Borders is collaborating with international partners and has a growing number of national chapters. We expand further to promote our cause more effectively across the world’s regions.
