  1. Fear and uncertainty, resulting from diverse effects of globalization, economic transformation, and technological progress, undermine liberal democracy.
  2. Among a variety of current threats to democracy, populism seems to be the most serious one.
  3. There is no alternative to the liberal democracy.
  4. To maintain democracy, citizens, especially young people, need to engage in politics and civic life.
  5. There is a need for active and coordinated defense of democracy.
