The August 2018 to January 2020, we issued monthly Global Research Updates covering multiple disciplines as well as relevant policy material. These were compiled through a hybrid methodology of curation and crowdsourcing.

LOOKING FOR RESEARCH AFTER 2020?

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we diverted our resources to construct a new Infohub, the COVID-DEM Global Democracy & Pandemic Tracker, focused on curating and publishing analysis of how the pandemic was affecting democracy worldwide. From April 2020-April 2022 this Tracker database was updated daily and provides access to news, blog posts, policy and media analysis, research, webinars and podcasts. We also issued over 140 research updates.
