We invite you to join a reading club meeting on “Defending Democracy in the Information War: Lessons for the State and Society”.
Participants are invited to discuss historical parallels and current challenges related to the information resilience of the state and society in the face of information threats.
The discussion will be based on Peter Pomerantsev’s book How to Win an Information War: The Propagandist Who Outwitted Hitler. The author himself — a well-known British researcher, journalist, and writer, and co-founder of The Reckoning Project, which helps document war crimes in accordance with international standards — will also join the meeting.

Comments are closed.

For one week in May, come together to share ideas, discuss solutions, and commit to new levels of citizen participation in government.

15 Years of the Open Government Partnership

OGP Logo

Fifteen years ago, OGP launched with a simple but radical premise: that government should serve the people, not the other way around. Over fifteen years, OGP has become the foremost global forum for advancing transparency, accountability, and public participation in government.

In an era of democratic regression and geopolitical fragmentation, platforms that sustain targeted collaborations among likeminded states and between governments and civil society are strategically vital. OGP is one of the few to endure.

The next phase requires action across the partnership: Governments forming cross-border coalitions to address common priorities; political leaders integrating openness into core national agendas; donors and funders sustaining investment and enabling scale; civil society continuing to propose, push, monitor, and demand.

The question ahead is scale and commitment.
