On the face of it, focusing on Taiwan as the world’s worrisome hotspot may seem an odd choice. The past year has witnessed an unusual amount of turmoil – the ravages of the coronavirus outbreak and the resulting global economic fallout, deepening political dissention in the United States and weakening American international leadership, and nationalism, intolerance and isolationism on the ascent across the globe.

The August 18th coup in Mali confronted European leaders with a harsh reality: financial resources, capacity building trainings and security cooperation alone are too thin a strategy to restore peace and stability in the Sahel. Following the 2012 upheaval, the European Union (EU) launched dedicated, well-funded initiatives and stabilization missions to reinforce the power of civilian governments and to support the fight against terrorism and organized crime.

“Challenged”, “under threat”, “under attack”, “in danger”, “in crisis”. Over the past few years, the progress of democracy across world regions has caused concern, as the repression of dissent, infringements on media freedoms, ballot tampering, and other anti-democratic trends went on the rise. Then the pandemic came, and it did not seem to make things any better.

October 5, 2000, is a Serbian metaphor for a dream of democracy.
