Democracies now face interacting crises, climate disruption, energy and food shocks, geopolitical conflict, and cyber risks, that cascade across systems and jurisdictions, eroding institutional capacity and public trust. Traditional single‑hazard approaches prove inadequate; current research emphasizes systemic risk frameworks and polycrisis governance to preserve legitimacy and effectiveness.
At the same time, behavioral public policy is evolving from narrow nudges toward agency‑enhancing, deliberative, and participatory models that better align with constitutional commitments to autonomy, proportionality, and accountability in high‑stakes transitions. Integrating these strands is timely for constitutional design and administrative practice.

The digital revolution has sparked a new wave of inequality, particularly in access to technology and its benefits. Understanding these disparities is vital for grasping their impact on contemporary society. One manifestation is through artificial intelligence, algorithms, and misinformation. AI-driven systems, used in decision-making like job applications and loan approvals, can exhibit biases due to skewed datasets. Algorithms also spread false information on social media platforms with minimal oversight.
Digital labor and the platform economy exacerbate inequality. While platforms like Uber and Airbnb offer income opportunities, workers lack basic protections like minimum wage laws. Additionally, personal data is often exploited without consent. Cybersafety and cybercrime further highlight digital inequalities. Some have access to robust security measures, while others lack basic knowledge, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. Economic barriers also hinder participation in gaming and other digital spaces. Big data collection practices can deepen existing disparities, especially regarding socioeconomic status and demographics. Public policies must address these issues to ensure equal access to technology for all.
This book aims to shed light on these disparities and develop solutions for a more equitable technological landscape.

Objectives
At the same time, the year 2024 marks forty years since the Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace (A/RES/39/11, 11 November 1984) and the preparation for the International Year of Peace and Trust, 2025 (A/RES/78/266), both resolutions being directly linked to the development of human rights in an environment of awareness for peace against violence.
Considering the current moment of global political instability with repercussions in all areas of the social and intellectual domain, it is proposed that the «Conference on the Right of Peoples to Peace» be held, allowing for a broad debate on issues related to the theme, such as, for example, the culture of peace, sense of peace in restricted system, human rights, democracy and governance, documenta)on and methods, education, etc.
