Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership for higher education

M.O.R.D.O.R.

M.O.R.D.O.R. is an Erasmus+ project, co-funded by the European Union focusing on improving general education on authoritarianism and to prepare recommendations for EU foreign policy stakeholders regarding democracy support.

This project has two main goals. First, it aims to improve and strengthen the study and education of dictatorships worldwide by creating an encyclopedia and other didactic materials.
Second, it plans to make recommendations for EU foreign policy, concerning its democracy support strategies, capabilities and vision. We also develop smaller reports, info-graphics and analysis on EU democracy promotion activities.

Speakers:

  • Dr. Nathan Vandeputte (Presenter) – Lead Researcher, University of Ghent
  • Dr. Aijan Sharshenova (Discussant) – Crossroads Central Asia and University of Warwick

Moderated by: Dr. Julia Leininger, German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS)

Report launch:  Reevaluating the relevance of the EU’s Democracy Support Agenda

22 November, 13:00- 14:00 CET

Webinar via Zoom

In the context of geopolitical turmoil and creeping democratic demise, this webinar will launch a new policy report examining the continuing relevance of the EU’s democracy support. Amidst rising authoritarianism, internal political shifts, and complex geopolitical and local crises, the EU’s commitment to supporting democracy abroad is being put to the test. Through reexamining the “coherence” and “relevance” of the EU’s commitment to supporting democracy, this event seeks to better understand the EU’s role in terms of how it contributes to fostering responsive democratic societies, and consider the report’s recommendations on how to make it more effective.

During this webinar, participants will unpack how the EU’s approach to democracy support, how it is adapting to the current geopolitical climate and discuss ways the EU can strengthen its response
