Authoritarian regimes have made a concerted effort to shrink the space available for civil society by restricting access to domestic decision-making, transparency, and accountability. An ultimate power ruler is known as an autocrat. A democracy's three branches of government - executive, judicial, and legislative - serve as an essential check on an executive leader's unchecked and uncontested power. The executive branch has grown at the expense of other branches by elected officials who regularly show disdain for the democratic principle of the separation of powers.

Globally, political officials have reinforced their executive departments through the weakening of the independence and authority of the Supreme Courts. Global democracies are facing a serious threat from elected officials who occasionally refuse to step down from office. Autocracies eventually arise when a government functions without considering the needs of the very people who elected it.

De-globalization, hyper-nationalism, protectionist sentiments, and divisive politics are all sharply rising. Anti-intellectual movements and sectarian politics are developing. A pluralistic worldview and secularism are under constant attack. There has been an increase in attacks on minority groups, and religion has virtually taken centre stage in all political discussions.
