EMBRACE Democracy – Reflections from the European Neighbourhood
EMBRACE Democracy – Reflections from the European Neighbourhood is a podcast exploring how democracy is supported, contested, and reimagined across the regions neighbouring the EU. Produced as part of the EMBRACE project, the series brings together researchers and activists from diverse contexts to share personal stories, field-based insights, and lessons on what works in democracy support.
Each episode dives into a different theme: the role of popular uprisings, to working for democracy in wartimes, to the impact of geopolitical rivalries, to the resilience of authoritarian regimes. Guests include both senior and early-career scholars and activists that are part of the EMBRACE consortium, offering both rigorous research findings and personal reflections.
Whether you’re a student curious about politics, a practitioner navigating democracy promotion, or simply interested in how societies struggle and strive for more inclusive futures, EMBRACE Democracy – Reflections from the European Neighbourhood will give you fresh perspectives, grounded in evidence and experience.
