How to Make the EU Narrative on Democracy Fit for the New Geopolitical Reality
In recent years, the global democracy landscape drastically changed. This Policy Brief argues that the European Union's narrative on democracy should be adjusted to respond to this new geopolitical reality. The EU should take a leading role in defending democratic and accountable governance and explaining its benefits for citizens.
Building on previous work of International IDEA on how to further strengthen the EU’s external democracy policy, the Policy Brief proposes concrete ideas to substantiate this new narrative and provides recommendations to inform the EU institutions and EU Member States' reflection and action on democracy.
