Project Title
|
„SHAPEDEM-EU. EU democracy support in its Eastern and Southern Neighbourhoods” (Z/HEU/00008) |
Project description
|
SHAPEDEM-EU sets out to rethink, reshape, and review the EU’s democracy support policies in its Eastern & Southern Neighbourhoods. Amidst the increasing contestation of the EU and the weakening impact of its policies in the Neighbourhoods, SHAPEDEM-EU applies an entirely novel approach to democracy support. The approach conceives of democracy support as a social practice requiring the collective democratic learning of all stakeholders involved. The consortium will pilot test a Democracy Learning Loop to create new channels and tools for interaction between the EU and its neighbours and transfer these findings into policy recommendations for an improved EU policy toolkit. SHAPEDEM-EU represents a multi-national and multifaceted research consortium of academic, think tank, and civil society institutions based in the EU and the Southern and Eastern Neighbourhoods. The consortium will apply mixed-methods to collect, assess, and generate policies related to democracy support in the six case countries of Lebanon, Palestine, Tunisia, Ukraine, Georgia, and Armenia. We will investigate the role of EU member states, key EU institutions, third country actors, and international organisations. The project results will lead to improved EU practices in the region. In all project phases, the impact of gender equality & digital transformations in democracy support will be examined. The position entails preparation and conduct of qualitative and quantitative research as part of the project 'SHAPEDEM-EU. EU democracy support in its Eastern and Southern Neighbourhoods' under the European Commission's Horizon Europe programme as part of the research tasks on the analysis of democracy support instruments in the EU Neighbourhood and contestation practices at the level of Member States and the European Union, as well as selected other international organisations and third countries. |
