A shared commitment to democracy and the rule of law is the condition sine qua none of the rules-based international order. The information age has given way to a rise of undemocratic forces, including disinformation sponsored by both private interests and state-sponsored actors, thereby increasing levels of threats to democracy, criminal activity, cyberwarfare, money-laundering, online troll farms, and unregulated transnational crowdfunding. What’s next for Democracy and Canada’s role in the world?
