Rooted in the Department of Political Economy’s rich, interdisciplinary environment, our Centre focuses on British democracy in its broadest sense, examining its drivers, complexities, and far-reaching implications.

Our mission is two-fold: first, to deepen understanding of democratic change in the UK and beyond; second, to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world policy.

We champion meaningful collaboration among scholars at King’s and the wider policy-making community, seeking evidence-based insights that inform and shape public discourse.

Through public lectures, academic events, publications, educational initiatives, and pilot projects, we bring fresh perspectives to the ongoing story of democracy, striving to create a more informed, inclusive future within the UK and globally.
