The Asia Democracy Chronicles (ADC) is the media team of the Asia Democracy Network, with the objectives to highlight the narratives of democracy in Asia from Asia by Asia. Through the ADC we aim to show how current events affect democracy
Have a story to tell, nuanced insights or expert analysis to share with a regional (i.e. Asia), even global, audience? Want to weigh in on specific issues afflicting humanity while the deadly virus rages on and wreaks havoc on our old ‘normal’? We’d love to hear from you.
We run features, op-eds, analyses, and other original contents that probe issues around human rights and civil liberties, and illuminate the challenges of democratic governance in Asia as states and societies cope with the Covid-19 pandemic. We cover Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, and South Asia.
