The global crisis of democracy is dominating the headlines. While this is indeed alarming, it does not mean that all hope for democracy is lost. In our most recent study, Monika Onken and I found that redemocratisation — that is, the recovery of democracy after a crisis — is happening around the world. 🌎 In our article we describe the regional differences and discuss some examples in more detail. We now want to learn more about the conditions and drivers of such re-democratisation, and how local pro-democracy actors can be supported.
Democratic decline is neither a given nor set in stone once occurring. Many countries have recovered and strengthened civic rights, even after acute episodes of autocratisation and amid a global crisis of democracy. Recognising these successes calls for the support of pro-democracy actors worldwide. 🔍 In our current GIGA Focus, GIGA researcher Désirée Reder and Monika Onken tell the global story of re-democratisation. ➡️ Read here: https://lnkd.in/eATTpNP6 #GIGA #GIGAFocus #Democracy #DemocraticErosion #ReDemocratisation #PoliticalTransitions #ComparativeResearch

AI.HAMBURG Summit 2025 – Celebrating AI Innovation 🇩🇪🤖 What a day! Over 450 participants gathered at Hamburg’s EMPORIO Tower, with hundreds more online, to celebrate AI, innovation, and take a look at Europe’s path to technological sovereignty. Huge thanks to Petra Vorsteher and Ragnar Kruse and their amazing team for making this vision tangible, and to Tobias Straube for moderating the entire day with energy and precision. We heard from international thought leaders like Andreas von Bechtolsheim, Marc Theermann, Carsten Kraus, Olaf J Groth, PhD (special greetings!), Ludovic Bodin, Fabian J. G. Westerheide and Christian Guttmann, alongside leading companies: Otto, Tchibo, Beiersdorf, MOIA, LBBW, Condor, IBM, Fielmann, Oracle, Airbus, Trustpilot, Wempe, Boston Dynamics, and Lufthansa Industry Solutions. The summit offered rich insights on Agentic AI, Data Management, Cloud AI, Trust, and Europe’s innovation ecosystem. The AI.Women Circle was particularly inspiring — amazing talent and energy driving diversity and inclusion in tech! Congratulations to Qdrant, winner of this year’s Startup Pitch Award, and to all startups demonstrating the creativity and ambition powering Europe’s AI scene. Hamburg (Hamburger Senat) continues to shine as a hub for innovation — with unicorns like 1KOMMA5° and ABOUT YOU, bridging startups, universities, and corporates seamlessly. I was proud to represent the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) Hamburg and our Digitral project, exploring AI in both regional and global governance. From my keynote: “If Silicon Valley shows what happens when optimism meets opportunity, then Europe can show what happens when purpose meets intelligence — both human and artificial.” And when we act maybe a little bit faster too. But as Hamburgers wisely say: „Kleine Schritte, grote Saken“ - small steps, big things. And then equally important to follow: „Dat löppt so lang, bis dat klappt“ — it runs on until it works. Innovation happens one bold and careful step at a time. ⚓️ #AIHamburg #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #TechSovereignty #Europe #Hamburg #Startups #AILeadership #DeepTech #AIWomen #GIGA #FutureOfAI Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) Bundesministerium für Digitales und Staatsmodernisierung Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) Iris Wieczorek Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany San Francisco German Center for Research and Innovation (DWIH) San Francisco AHK USA – San Francisco GABA Northern California - German American Business Association Transatlantic AI eXchange Merantix AI Campus AI Hub Frankfurt IPAI Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT)

🔥 The news is full of stories of democracy in crisis, and rightly so. But there are other stories to be told, too: those where countries recovered from their crisis of #democracy. Désirée Marlen Reder and Monika Onken from German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) had a look at 74 cases and conclude: "Nearly one-in-three cases end in democratic recovery." What were the specifics in each case? And what does this mean for building a democratic alliance and supporting democracy around the world? The researchers also give policy recommendations. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eS3_vwPv
