A Democratic Governance job focuses on promoting transparent, accountable, and inclusive governance structures that uphold democratic principles. Professionals in this field work with governments, civil society, and international organizations to strengthen institutions, enhance civic participation, and protect human rights. Roles may include policy advising, electoral assistance, anti-corruption efforts, and institutional reform. These jobs are typically found in NGOs, government agencies, and international organizations like the UN and World Bank.

Familiarity with governance assessment tools, project management systems, and relevant certifications such as PMP or specialized courses in governance are common assets. Strong interpersonal skills, cross-cultural communication, and ethical decision-making are vital soft skills for fostering stakeholder engagement and consensus-building. These capabilities are critical for effectively supporting transparent, accountable governance initiatives and achieving sustainable development outcomes.

What are the main challenges and rewards of working in a Democratic Governance position?

Working in Democratic Governance often involves navigating complex political environments, balancing diverse stakeholder interests, and adapting to regulatory changes. You may face challenges such as promoting participatory decision-making in settings with limited resources or variable commitment to reform. However, the role is highly rewarding as you contribute to strengthening institutions, advancing accountability, and making a tangible impact on how societies are governed. Team structures are typically collaborative, involving experts from various fields, and offer valuable opportunities to develop leadership and project management skills. Career progression often leads to senior advisory, program management, or policy-making positions within international organizations, NGOs, or government agencies.

The Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented individual to join its Democratic Resilience (DR) program as a Democratic Resilience Intern.

The intern will work closely with the DR program team to support policymakers—across government, civil society, business, and the media in North America and Europe—in achieving three vital aims: countering authoritarian threats to democracy, responding to democratic backsliding, and bolstering the ability of established democracies to restore and maintain peace, security and prosperity.

This internship offers an excellent opportunity to gain experience in policy research, stakeholder engagement, and program management within a transatlantic policy-focused environment. The ideal candidate will be proactive, highly organized, and deeply interested in CEPA’s mission and the broader field of democratic resilience.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct research and analysis on key topics related to democratic resilience, authoritarian influence, and transatlantic policy;
  • Assist in organizing events, including roundtables, panel discussions, and workshops;
  • Support outreach efforts to key stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, and civil society organizations;
  • Help prepare reports, policy briefs, and other programrelated publications;
  • Provide logistical and administrative support for program activities;
  • Monitor developments in democracy and governance across Europe and North America;
  • Collaborate with the DR program team on strategic initiatives to advance the program’s goals.

    • Qualifications

    Education:
  • Currently pursuing or recently graduated with a degree in a relevant field (e.g., International Relations, Political Science, Public Policy);
  • Minimum junior or senior standing in undergraduate studies, or enrollment in a graduate program.
    • Skills:
  • Strong research, analytical, and writing abilities;
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal;
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and collaboration tools (Teams);
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and manage time effectively.
    • Interest and Knowledge:
  • Demonstrated interest in CEPA’s mission and focus areas, such as democracy promotion, governance, and transatlantic relations;
  • Basic knowledge of global and regional politics, authoritarian regimes, and democratic governance.
    • Professional Traits:
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills;
  • Team player with a proactive approach;
  • Adaptability and eagerness to learn in a fastpaced environment.
    • Availability:
  • Commitment to three months, with agreedupon hours per week, between 2040 hours;
  • Ability to work in CEPA’s office or remotely, depending on role requirements.
    • Equal Opportunity:
