Abstract

Various EU member states are currently witnessing a process whereby the exercise of fundamental political rights and freedoms – most notably, the right to vote, but also the right to run for elections or to form or participate in political associations – is undermined both domestically, supra-nationally and in other proximate EU member states. This raises stringent questions about how to diagnose such processes normatively, but also about the adequate political and/or policy strategies for mitigating or offsetting them. This panel examines these questions in an integrated way, combining normative political theory with institutional approaches and policy analysis.
