The Nexus

Democracies are by definition works in progress, constantly striving to find a balance between competing values, ideas, interests and constituencies. This dynamic is always in flux.

One of the defining challenges for democracies in our current era is trying to balance the obligation of states to protect their citizenry from crime and terrorism while also maintaining their commitments to protecting human and civil rights at home and abroad.

This website is dedicated to providing novel proposals and perspectives for meeting this challenge.
