A summit for democracy or building a bloc to counter China and Russia?
Opinion
Alex Folkes for the Foreign Policy Centre discussed the wider implications of the framing of the Summit based on two different possible framings of the Summit: an alliance of democracies intended to counter authoritarian forces such as China and Russia, or a summit for better democracy more generally. While not mutually exclusive, Folkes recommends that states be clear in their intent and understanding to best uphold human rights.
