The Democratic Piece is a blog for students and alumni of the Georgetown Democracy & Governance program. Readers may recognize our title as a word-play on the democratic peace hypothesis.

We write about about democratization, democracy promotion, patterns of governance and democracy’s opposite, autocracy. Recognizing that democratization is a process, TDP is about established democracies too.

TDP welcomes commentary and contributions. Have we missed something? Contact blog@democraticpiece.com.
