Governing Under Strategic Uncertainty

The strategic uncertainty that is created by geopolitical rivalry, technological change, and changes in institutional trust is increasingly defining democratic governance. This chapter focuses on the way in which democratic systems evolve methods of governance that have not been stable and predictable in the past. An explanatory organizational framework is formulated to describe the relationship among geopolitics, technology, and institutional trust to influence democratic decision making. The chapter uses comparative case studies of Taiwan and Estonia to show the various ways to adapt to democracy, such as stand the test of geopolitical pressure and creative approaches to democracy via digital governance systems. The discussion reveals the significance of institutional transparency, adaptive policy-making and trust-building practices in maintaining democratic legitimacy and effectiveness in governance in disengaged global settings that are variable and uncertain.
