Correctiv launches investigative series on global spread of authoritarian tactics
Investigative network Correctiv.Exile has published a series outlining how illiberal regimes share strategies, including foreign agent laws, across borders.
Investigative journalism network Correctiv.Exile has launched a special series examining how authoritarian leaders coordinate and replicate governance tactics to accelerate democratic backsliding worldwide.
According to the report, political strategies pioneered in Hungary were subsequently mirrored in Poland, while Russian-style legislation targeting foreign agents has recently expanded into Georgia and Serbia. The initiative identifies a pattern of cross-border tactical exchange among illiberal regimes, presenting these legal and regulatory shifts as part of an interconnected global push against democratic governance rather than separate national developments.
