Welcome to Spectacles, where we keep you up to date on what’s going on in the world and what it means for democracy, to provide you with a new way of seeing politics you won’t find anywhere else.

What does Spectacles offer, exactly?

• Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Insight uses democratic theory to explain a current story and answer a vital question about how democracy works—or fails to.
• On Sundays, Focus gives you a longer read, diving deep into a critical issue for democratic health.
