Global Democracy at Crossroads in 2024 Amid Rising Authoritarian Appeal

Elections in Over 60 Countries Could Reshape World Order, Amid Fears of Disinformation Campaigns and Right-Wing Surge

2024 is set to be a pivotal year for global democracy with elections in over 60 countries, including the United States, Taiwan, Russia, the European Union, India, and South Africa.
Concerns are rising over the potential for right-wing leaders to be elected, which could shift the global balance of power towards authoritarianism.
Disinformation campaigns, particularly those powered by artificial intelligence, are expected to play a significant role in the upcoming elections, with Russia, Iran, and China identified as potential culprits.
In the United States, the outcome of the presidential election could significantly impact international relations, particularly with regards to NATO, China, Russia, and other international adversaries.
The European Union is facing a potential shift towards right-wing politics, while India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, known for his Hindu nationalist agenda, is expected to secure a third term.
