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.
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.
Together with our partners Democracy Without Borders runs global campaigns. We promote the creation of a UN Parliamentary Assembly, a UN World Citizens’ Initiative and a UN Rapporteur on Democracy.
DWB has a growing number of chapters and contact points across the world.
We publish research and books covering our programs and causes.
DWB depends on the support of its donors. A special thank you to these key contributors in 2024.
