Topics Well-functioning democratic processes and institutions constitute the backbone of political legitimacy, social stability, economic growth and prosperity. However, these days democracy is faced with serious challenges: First, the process of globalization has undermined the problem-solving capacities of established democracies. Governments no longer have the degree of control that they once had, and their decisions are increasingly affected by decisions taken elsewhere. At the same time, international institutions to which political authority is increasingly transferred lack democratic legitimacy. Furthermore, Gilardi Fabrizio, Prof. Hug Simon, Prof. Imhof Kurt, Prof. Jarren Otfried, Prof. Koubi Vally, Prof. Kriesi Hanspeter, Prof. Kübler Daniel, Prof. Ladner Andreas, Prof. Lavenex Sandra, Prof. Marcinkowski Frank, Prof. Matthes Jörg, Prof. Merkel Wolfgang, Prof. Papadopoulos Ioannis, Prof. Sciarini Pascal, Prof. Schimmelfennig Frank, Prof. Siegert Gabriele, Prof. Steenbergen Marco, Prof. Tresch Anke, Dr. de Vreese Claes, Prof. Wirth Werner, Prof. Wyss Vinzenz, Prof. Ziegler Béatrice, Prof. the process of extending democracy into unstable countries and regions has proven to be more difficult than expected. Second, democratic systems are confronting the increasingly powerful role of the media in politics. In this mediatization process over recent decades, the mass media have been moving from being merely a channel of communication to being a major actor in the political arena. This can be problematic as the media are able to influence the entire decision-making process and they can assign political relevance and importance to societal problems according to their own logic. Since 2005, social scientists have been working together for the NCCR Democracy in order to better understand how democracy is developing under these two conditions. While globalization and mediatization pose significant challenges to democracy, they also provide new opportunities for both new and established democracies to adapt to changing conditions and can contribute to a reinforcement of democracy. The researchers’ common goal is to give explanations for the current changes and to propose new solutions and therefore improve the quality of democracy.
