Democracy as Strategic Infrastructure

Geopolitical fragmentation, technological disturbance and strategic competition are becoming more shaping factors of democratic rule. This chapter reinvents the idea of democracy as strategic infrastructure, and the importance of coordinating institutional design, governance, and adaptability of policies in helping states to negotiate the complicated international politics of power. Combining the insights on international relations and governance studies, the chapter investigates the concept of institutional resilience as a multidimensional ability that entails adaptability, continuity, and public trust. The demonstrations of the European Union and Indo-Pacific democracies reveal the comparative insights of the cases on how the systems addressed issues like disinformation, cyber threats, and economic dependencies and remain legitimate and policy-effective. The chapter brings out the role of strategic governance, multilevel coordination and institutional innovation that promote democratic sustainability in the fragmented global order.
