On 9 and 10 December, US President Joe Biden is slated to virtually host the much talked about international Summit for Democracy. The Summit aims to gather as many as 111 leaders from democratic nations, civil society, and influential thought makers “to set forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle the greatest threats faced by democracies today through collective action”. The scale and magnitude of such a summit, exclusively on democracy and its related challenges, has no parallel in the recent memory. This is probably the biggest event to be kicked up by the 11-month-old Biden administration in an effort to “catalyse action toward the goal of renewing global democracy”.
