Short project description
The Jean Monnet Chair on Populism and the Future of European Democracy (POPEDEM) promotes EU studies through an innovative combination of open teaching, virtual classrooms, co-creative public debates, research, and policy recommendations. It is grounded in current academic discourses within political science, sociology, communication studies, and other relevant disciplines regarding populism, its roots, character, and consequences for the future development of the European Union as a unique form of a democratic supranational political entity. The project is based on the recognition of the challenges and flaws within the European governance system, as well as the complex relationships between EU institutions and member states—dynamics that various populist movements frequently exploit to further their own agendas.
