10.2c What are the implications and impacts of different forms of political mobilisation, including in relation to attempts to control civic space through new laws and regulations?
Background
FCDO seeks to understand the relationship between power and institutions, and how this affects state functions and accountability. Politics and governance research supports the delivery of interconnected challenges of domestic resource mobilisation, financial management, anti-corruption, state capacity and service delivery. It also aims to support healthy and vibrant civil societies that are navigating challenges including democratic rollback and the impact of new technologies on governance, political contestation and civic space. We aim to identify the conditions and interventions that can lead to peace and better governance, and improved humanitarian contexts. Furthermore, we wish to add to the evidence available to improve our own diplomatic and development interventions.
