Abstract
The DemForYou (Democracy for You in the EU) project seeks to study, discuss, and contribute to the understanding of the threats to democracy in the European Union, aiming at supporting proposals to address these issues and strengthen democratic practices. The project generates innovative knowledge for the scientific community, policymakers, and civil society, while promoting critical reflection and informed civic participation. Using a multi- and interdisciplinary approach, DemForYou combines research, teaching, and knowledge transfer. It focuses on the examination of European politics and policies, including Economic and Monetary Union, Asylum Policy, Social Policy, Cohesion Policy, and Neighborhood Policy. The project aims to (i) identify and understand the elements and processes related to the threats to democracy and (ii) explore the institutional, normative, and political mechanisms that have proven effective, or could be effective, in strengthening democracy in the EU.
