The Democracy Project has been launched to promote critical thinking, engagement and democratic discourse within New Zealand. We assist this with the provision of information and analysis about NZ politics and society - especially with our Substack emails:

NZ Politics Daily: A comprehensive, non-partisan compendium of links to news and analysis on New Zealand politics emailed to subscribers Monday to Friday. Launched in 2011, this long-standing service has become a respected and trusted means of staying up-to-date with New Zealand politics.

Political Roundup: Analysis about issues of the day in New Zealand politics and society - from Bryce Edwards

From the Left: Chris Trotter's critique and analysis of contemporary New Zealand politics, from a leftwing point of view

Foreign Policy Briefing: Analysis of New Zealand’s foreign policy and international relations - from Geoffrey Miller

And there’s more to come.
