The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on our democratic societies, posing unprecedented challenges to personal freedoms, the reliability of information and, ultimately, the ability of democratic institutions to cope with the rapidly changing societal demands. This adds up to a tumultuous decade for European democracy, that saw the rise of populist movements and anti-European sentiments fuelling disintegration drives.
This conference will bring together the results of three Horizon 2020 research projects, DEMOS, POPREBEL and PaCE, which have analysed the phenomenon of populism and its consequences for European democracies. Experts will discuss about the relevant insights and findings on the causes for this multifaceted phenomenon, with a specific focus on possible policy actions, recommendations and strategies for strengthening democratic values and practices.
