Abstract:
Democracy can be described as a social practice requiring the collective democratic learning of all stakeholders involved. In this context, the EU-funded SHAPEDEM-EU project will explore the EU’s democracy support policies in Eastern and Southern European countries. Bringing together a multinational research consortium of academic, think tanks and civil society institutions, SHAPEDEM-EU will test a Democracy Learning Loop to design new channels and tools for interaction between the EU and its neighbours. It will develop policy recommendations for an improved EU policy toolkit. The project will apply mixed methods to collect, assess, and generate policies related to democracy support in the six case countries of Armenia, Georgia, Lebanon, Palestine, Tunisia and Ukraine.
