Empowering Voices. Enacting Values
Our Cohesive Research Ecosystem (CORE) ...
A weakening commitment to the core principles that sustain democracy - such as upholding the rights of minorities, protecting space for dissent, and adhering to the rule of law - poses a serious risk to democratic stability worldwide. Recent reports highlight that democratic institutions and safeguards are being systematically undermined in many regions, with governments restructuring civil society, curtailing media freedom, and enacting policies that marginalize vulnerable groups.
This erosion is often accompanied by rising authoritarianism, political interference in the judiciary, and attacks on independent media, all of which diminish accountability and pluralism. The shrinking spaces for critical balances allow executive powers to expand unchecked, threatening the very fabric of democratic governance.
Furthermore, discriminatory legislation and increased repression against minorities are becoming common, undermining the universal values that democracy is built upon. If these trends continue unchecked, they risk entrenching illiberal regimes and destabilizing the global democratic order.
Given the acute challenges of necropolitical governance, endangered democracy, and systematic rights deprivation in the Horn, all of sub-saharan Africa and global hotspots, Liberty Values & Strategy Foundation's structure is uniquely positioned
- to champion the rights of tribes, pastoralist societies, and other minorities facing property rights violations
- to identify and counteract threats to liberty, democracy, and human rights, including those posed by authoritarian and necropolitical regimes.
...Redefines 21st-Century Think Tank Excellence
As geopolitical complexities intensify, our pioneering structure not only enables intellectual depth within each domain but also facilitates the cross-disciplinary approaches necessary to address interconnected threats to democracy in an increasingly contested global landscape.
A Paradigm Shift
By interlacing its four pillars through the CORE architecture, Liberty Values & Strategy Foundation fundamentally re-conceptualizes how research can drive systemic change in complex global contexts.
By Integrating specialized Research centers with strategic alliances, legal advocacy and grassroots Intel, under the ethical oversight of the Research Integrity Committee (RIC), the Foundation positions itself as a powerful intellectual leader capable of producing rigorous research that addresses contemporary challenges (state collapse, necropolitics, systemic governance failure, terrorism) in defense of liberty and democratic values.
Each research center is multidisciplinary, structured to encourage both specialized expertise and collaborative innovation. Divisions within each Research center are designed to intersect on major research themes and projects, ensuring a dynamic flow of knowledge and resources.
