Descripción del proyecto
Instrumentos políticos supranacionales de la Unión Europea para hacer frente a los desacuerdos emergentes
La Unión Europea (UE) apoya la democracia y el Estado de Derecho en respuesta al disenso emergente en torno a las democracias liberales. El proyecto RED-SPINEL, financiado con fondos europeos, contribuirá al fortalecimiento de las instituciones democráticas de la UE al analizar la naturaleza cambiante del disenso y sus repercusiones en los instrumentos políticos supranacionales de la UE. En este sentido, se hará hincapié en los principales instrumentos políticos y mecanismos jurídicos de la UE a través de la innovación teórica y análisis empíricos originales, que proporcionarán conocimientos nuevos sobre la naturaleza del disenso al alza. Además, se examinará cómo el disenso actual afecta a las futuras prácticas democráticas y al Estado de Derecho. El equipo de RED-SPINEL desarrollará una tipología del disenso, identificará a sus principales agentes, analizará las disputas internas sobre la democracia liberal y la competencia externa de modelos no liberales, y elaborará recomendaciones de políticas y herramientas de desarrollo de capacidades.
Objetivo
RED-SPINEL stands for 'Respond to Emerging Dissensus: SuPranational Instruments and Norms of European democracy'. It is an interdisciplinary and intersectoral Research and Innovation Action bringing together 11 partner organisations from 8 European countries. It will jointly analyse the changing nature of dissensus surrounding liberal democracy and its implications for EU supranational policy instruments.
RED-SPINEL will unpack the inter-connected drivers of contemporary dissensus surrounding liberal democracy. Its findings will be rooted in theoretical innovation and original empirical analyses. Its concept-building effort centered on the notion of 'dissensus' will explore how contemporary dissensus surrounding liberal democracy differs from previous debates and which more fundamental questions it raises about future democratic practices and the rule of law. Ultimately, RED-SPINEL will provide a typology of said dissensus, map the principal actors of the dissensus in Europe and unpack its two underlying drivers - i.e. heightened internal contestation over liberal democracy and external competition from alternative illiberal models.
Empirically, RED-SPINEL will focus on the key policy instruments and legal mechanisms shaping the EU's efforts in support of democracy and the rule of law. The studied instruments include the EU rule of law toolbox, the neighborhood and accession instruments, the European semester, fundamental rights and judicial instruments, as well as citizen participation platforms.
Furthermore, through a series of stakeholder events, RED-SPINEL will flesh out the implications of its findings for public policy stakeholders (i.e. legal professionals, policymakers, European youth) as well as EU instruments aimed at responding to said dissensus. The project will develop a range of scientifically informed policy recommendations and capacity-building efforts able to foster innovative democratic practices able to respond to the present-day dissensus.
