Expanding Support for Democratic Governance

Democracy for the Future

2018–Present

In 2018, JCIE launched a multi-pronged initiative to explore and expand Japan’s support for democratic governance based on the values of liberty, accountability, the rule of law, and individual dignity and empowerment. In its initial phase, our activities were guided by a study team of leading Japanese experts in the field. Our collaboration with the study team culminated in a publication, Japan’s Support for Democracy Related Issues: Mapping Survey.
