How to Read

How each volume is structured

Democracy defenders are busy and practical people. That is why we designed every publication to be concise and engaging.

Each volume includes One Featured Grand Strategy and several Plays.

A guiding framework that aligns all actions and tactics with the long-term goal of power and control consolidation. The foundation of the grand strategy provides coherence and effectiveness to individual plays.

The Plays

A Play is an action that can be adapted to different moments and contexts. It may be a strategy, tactic, or tool. The key criteria for its inclusion are its deployment, effectiveness, and relevance in supporting authoritarian agendas.

For each, you will find the following information:
