Summary

Is Europe as a whole losing its democratic compass? Or are the reports of Europe's democratic demise an exaggeration? What are the linkages between authoritarian populism, restriction of migrants' rights and democratic decay in Europe? How do these linkages impact on European belonging, our common values, and European identity? And which elements of democratic resilience can be discerned to counteract the authoritarian populist swerve?

Aims

This two-day workshop will bring together scholars of migration, constitutionalism and democracy to analyze the linkages between authoritarian populism, migration and democratic decay in Europe. Debate is envisaged to centre around three sets of issues:

a. Linkages between Migration, Populism and Democratic Decay

b. Impact on European Belonging, Values and Identity

c. Possibilities for Democratic Resilience
