2024 is the Year of Democracy, when more than 2 billion people go to the polls.

Every European has a deep stake in the policies that shape our lives, from tackling global crises like climate change, to local issues like the state of our schools and hospitals. Yet, many citizens feel disillusioned and disengaged from politics; some vote for populist parties and many do not bother to vote at all.

What are the main challenges facing democracy in Europe, and what can be done? What impact will new digital technologies like social media and AI have on the future evolution and health of democratic systems?

How can we promote the public sphere and public participation in our democracies? What is the state of the relationship between experts, policymakers and the public, and how can we strengthen this nexus?

Join us for this timely debate, which coincides with recent major reports on the state of democracy by the European Group on Ethics and the Joint Research Centre. It is free and open to all on Tuesday 24th September 2pm CEST, 1pm UK  

A collaboration event between the Academia Europaea and Cardiff University

The Open University (OU) is a longstanding hub for interdisciplinary, critical, and forward-looking research on international development. Celebrating its work and engaging with current debates, the University is launching the OU Global Development Annual Lecture series.

In the first in the series, Abolition and International Aid and Development, Dr Olivia Umurerwa Rutazibwa, Assistant Professor, MSc Human Rights and Politics, Department of Sociology, London School of Economics and Political Science offers reflections on what it means to take anti-colonial and decolonial critiques of international aid and development seriously.

Dr Rutazibwa argues that this requires a genuine engagement with abolition rather than reform; and repair and dignity rather than aid and development.
