Summary:A mounting tide of crises that reinforce each other threatens to overwhelm our societies and political systems. Whether it is the seemingly endless coronavirus pandemic, the increasingly tangible threat of climate change, the vexing vulnerabilities of an interconnected world, or rising geopolitical tensions, all these challenges add up to a feeling of a loss of control, as data from the Munich Security Index shows. There is a real risk that the perception of “collective helplessness” may prevent the world from addressing the most important crises before it is too late. While the challenges are real, the tools and resources needed to address them are, in fact, available. If we can “unlearn helplessness” and demonstrate that democracies can still deliver, we have a chance to turn the tide – together and for good. |
