This is the place where you can contribute democracy related essays, photos, articles, video and audio files.

We hope you enjoy the space and make good use of it.

To help you we have created a content list.

We are also trying to make a global definition of democracy. We have started with the definition used in Merriam-Websters online dictionary. Please edit this definition and help us come up with a global definition of Democracy here!

“A government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.”

See list of 14 key characteristics of a democratic society at: http://www.dwatch.ca/democracy.html (and on this page you will also see links to the definitions of democracy established by the World Movement for Democracy, and the Community of Democracies)
