Slide 1
ADC publishes narrative articles, op-eds, analytical pieces, essays, and other similarly oriented types of content on relevant themes
Asia Democracy Chronicles (ADC), an online publication of the Asia Democracy Network, seeks to shine a spotlight on important but still untold stories from the ground tackling the state of human rights and democracy on the world’s largest, most diverse, and most populous continent.

ADC publishes narrative articles, op-eds, analytical pieces, essays, and other similarly oriented types of content on relevant themes to keep readers abreast of critical issues and challenges unfolding in the region. This, while seeking to inspire and support efforts from all across the region and the rest of the world toward a truly free and democratic Asia.
Slide 1
Against the foregoing backdrop, the Asia Democracy Network (ADN) has embarked on the Democracy Chronicles project. This timely initiative aims to map the human rights and democratic landscape in the region in the wake of the global health crisis.
Ultimately, we hope to see a truly humane and rights-based response that puts people above any political and pecuniary interests.
Chronicling the state of democratic rights or fundamental freedoms – particularly in Asia – is expected to stoke further debate and enrich ongoing discourse about the linkages between health and human rights in the context of the coronavirus scourge. It is further hoped that stories from the ground as well as analysis and opinion pieces that will be featured on the Democracy Chronicles platform will help inform policy making and facilitate national, regional, and international efforts to thwart unacceptable state measures to tackle the pandemic. Ultimately, we hope to see a truly humane and rights-based response that puts people above any political and pecuniary interests.
