"The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University is an academic and public forum that integrates research, teaching, and practice to improve and expand powerful civic engagement and informed, inclusive dialogue as the cornerstone of robust global democracy. SNF Agora has developed this series of Case Studies on Democracy that show how civic and political actors navigated real-life challenges. Practitioners, teachers, organizational leaders, and trainers working with civic and political leaders, students, and trainees can use our case studies to deepen their skills, to develop insights about how to approach strategic choices and dilemmas, and to get to know each other better and work more effectively.
Unlike many case studies, ours do not focus on individual leaders or other decision-makers. Instead, the SNF Agora case studies are about choices that groups make collectively. Therefore, these cases work well as prompts for group discussions. The basic question in each case is: “What would we do?” After reading a case, your group may role-play the people who were actually involved in the situation, treating the discussion as a simulation, or you may speak as yourselves, discussing the strategies you would advocate for the group described in the case."--Publisher
