Ambitions for the Future of EU Democracy Support
Questo studio approfondisce il quadro analitico, gli obiettivi, le modalità di attuazione e l’impatto previsto del progetto SHAPEDEM-EU. SHAPEDEM-EU si propone di ripensare, rimodellare e rivedere le politiche dell’Unione europea di sostegno alla democrazia implementate nel vicinato orientale e meridionale. In un contesto di crescente contestazione dell’Ue e di indebolimento dell’impatto delle sue politiche nelle regioni limitrofe, SHAPEDEM-EU applica un nuovo approccio al supporto democratico. L’impianto analitico si basa su quattro pilastri concettuali: la democrazia come pratica sociale basata sulla conoscenza democratica; la democrazia come pratica sociale di interazione; la pratica di contestazione multilivello all’interno degli strumenti di supporto alla democrazia dell’Ue; il Democracy Learning Loop per il miglioramento delle politiche dell’Ue.
