DESCRIPTION:The rise of political polarization presents an increasingly tr
 oubling threat to democracies worldwide and peace globally. Established an
 d emerging democracies are seeing far-right political figures ascend to po
 wer amidst growing internal social division. At the same time\, economic c
 oncerns\, wars\, and growing distrust further polarize entire groups of na
 tions.\n\nWhat is the lived experience of polarization? How does it manife
 st within societies\, both inside and outside of politics? And what can be
  done to reverse the course and build coalition once again? \n\nThe Cambri
 dge Overcoming Polarization Initiative sets out to answer these questions.
  Over the course of a year\, we engaged professors\, researchers\, and bus
 iness leaders to gain diverse perspectives on polarization\, its threat to
  social order\, and examples of things actually getting better. This prese
 ntation summarises those findings and introduces new questions for continu
 ed study.
