We’ve always built institutions and through them shaped our own environment to a degree. The right kind of environments have in turn enabled us to do more and better – in science, culture, technology, economy, etc.
Based mostly on the ideas of Karl Popper and Francis Fukuyama, we believe that the best environments that enable societal innovation are built on democratic institutions – rule of law, separation of powers, democratic accountability, ideological pluralism, etc.
This is the mission of the DD Foundation – to build and strengthen these institutions and help other people and organizations do the same.
