The Democratic Piece

The Democratic Piece is an online arena created by the graduate students of Georgetown University’s Democracy Studies MA program.

The Democratic Piece is the official site of the Forum for the Study of Democracy and Autocracy. The Forum is the association for current graduate students in the Democracy Studies M.A. program at Georgetown University and Democracy Studies alumni. The Democratic Piece was established by the Forum as part of its mission to further the study of democracy, autocracy, political change and democracy promotion at Georgetown University and in the broader academic and advocacy communities. The Forum offers the Democratic Piece as a resource for those interested in democratic theory, current events, political change, and democracy promotion. The Forum aims to enhance knowledge by serving as a nexus of communication between the academic and professional worlds.

The Democratic Piece will include regular content featuring news and commentary on worldwide current events, updates regarding research and academic work in the field, internship and job openings in the industry, and coverage of relevant conferences and events. In order to serve as a space to foster communication and debate within the areas of political change and democracy promotion, the Democratic Piece welcomes commentary and contributions from outside sources.
