This series of policy papers is based on the papers presented by the authors at the workshop Moral Dilemmas of Resistance: Political Ethics in the Face of Democratic Regression and Electoral Authoritarianism, a joint venture of the Regional Office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation on Democracy of the Future in Vienna, the CEU Democracy Institute, and the CEU Department of Political Science. 

Convened by Zoltan Miklosi and Attila Mráz, the workshop took place at the CEU Democracy Institute in Budapest on 27 and 28 September 2024. It was the inaugural event of Democratic Expeditions, a series of openly sourced, carefully crafted international research workshops that shed light on underexplored issues of democratic crises and democratizing struggles. The initiative is a joint venture of the Regional Office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation on Democracy of the Future in Vienna, the CEU Democracy Institute, and the CEU Department of Political Science.
