WHO IS KILLING DEMOCRACY?


Globalisation has changed the rules of the game, empowering corporations but bringing back state power through new transnational state-corporate relations. International relations have become a giant three-dimensional chess game with states and corporations as intertwined actors. Corporate influence over the government does not end with the passing of a law. Corporate entities with no natural limits and endless resources can wage a long-term, sustained attack across policymaking pressure points.

There is "heavy lawyering of the rulemaking and enforcement processes, often as simple brute pressure to cause delay and cost" on the part of corporate interests. Furthermore, any final rule may be challenged in courts that are increasingly friendly to corporate forces at the expense of people. There is a nationalist and protectionist backlash in large parts of the world, as well as a revival of global rivalries: states using corporations to achieve geopolitical goals in an increasingly hostile environment, and powerful corporations using more aggressive strategies to extract profits in response.

De-globalization, hyper-nationalism, protectionist sentiments, and divisive politics are all sharply rising. Anti-intellectual movements and sectarian politics are developing. A pluralistic worldview and secularism are under constant attack. There has been an increase in attacks on minority groups, and religion has virtually taken centre stage in all political discussions.
Authoritarian regimes use narratives associated with right-wing populism and nationalism to rewrite history. They give the "corporate state" the illusion of democratic legitimacy. They simply ignore public concerns about freedom, justice, equality, and social discussion. Until 2005, the number of democracies in the world had been steadily increasing. But since then, the number has declined. Who is killing off the world’s democracies?
